LOS ANGELES -- Eddie Vanderdoes return from a torn ACL was supposed to fix the UCLA run defense. When Vanderdoes departed Saturdays win over UNLV with a left knee strain, fellow defensive lineman Eli Ankou feared the worst.Man, my heart dropped. It was kind of like nerve-wracking, Ankou said Monday.Vanderdoes took to social media Sunday to downplay the extent of the injury, and coach Jim Mora was hopeful the redshirt junior will play at BYU this week. It was welcome news after Vanderdoes hurt his right knee and was lost for the season during last years opener, the first domino in an injury-ravaged campaign that saw the Bruins give up more than 200 yards rushing five times.But Vanderdoes presence has not been not the cure-all for UCLAs issues stopping the run. Texas A&M rushed for 203 yards and three touchdowns in the Bruins opener, averaging 5.0 yards per carry. The Rebels ran for 175 yards and two touchdowns, also at a clip of 5.0 yards per carry.I feel like we performed decent, but there is always room to grow and we can always get better, defensive back Tahaan Goodman said.Both opponents had success running their quarterbacks against UCLA, something the Cougars are more than capable of exploiting. Taysom Hill has eight career games with more than 100 yards rushing, including his memorable 259-yard outburst against Texas that led to the firing of defensive coordinator Manny Diaz, and 26 rushing touchdowns.Mora praised the resilience and competitiveness of Hill, the sixth-year senior who did not play against UCLA last season because of a Lisfranc fracture, his third season-ending injury.If you watch the Utah game, you saw some great runs, Mora said. You saw just what you would expect of him, that toughness and that grit that he has displayed his whole career.Hill was unable to score on a quarterback draw as BYU went for the win on a 2-point conversion in the final minute against the rival Utes, with the Utah defensive line showing the composure that UCLA was lacking at times against UNLV. Quarterback Johnny Stanton was able to exploit some overly aggressive pass-rush tendencies on draws, Ankou said.That matches the overall struggles of the run defense, where a desire to deliver the big play can supersede the basic fundamentals.Everybody just has to do their job, Ankou said. Relax a little bit, not try to do too much and I think well be good.BYU rushed for 161 yards against UCLA last season despite not having running back Jamaal Williams available. Williams has 220 yards in games against Arizona and Utah this season, and he rushed for 1,233 yards as a sophomore.Pushing Pac-12 South teams to the brink in consecutive weeks showed Ankou that UCLA cannot look past BYU.It kind of gives a clear image what kind of players they are. BYU is a team that should be respected, Ankou said. We shouldnt take them lightly.Having Vanderdoes and defensive end Takkarist McKinley (groin) available certainly wouldnt hurt. Mora said Vanderdoes could be a game-time decision.Its just how fast he heals and how well he feels on Saturday, Mora said. Being able to get him out there would be something wed love to see, obviously. Kevin Gausman Jersey .

"Given the way the meeting transpired," Ray Halbritter, an Oneida representative and leader of the "Change the Mascot Campaign," said Wednesday, "it became somewhat evident they were defending the continued use of the name. Jobe Watson no longer has a Brownlow Medal to hang around his neck.But - on the bright side - he no longer has a monkey on his back. Or a target on his forehead.Watson was the skipper and stand-out player of the 2012 Essendon team, 34 of whom were hit with one-year doping bans for their roles in the spectacularly ill-conceived supplements program.That he won the Brownlow Medal in that very season - four votes clear of Richmonds Trent Cotchin and Hawthorns Sam Mitchell - only added to the opprobrium heaped on him in some quarters.How could an award for the leagues best and fairest player stay with a man who had served a doping ban?To his credit, Watson did not dodge that tricky question on Friday.It has been incredibly distressing for me to have people question my integrity and infer an intention to act against the spirit of the game - a spirit that is intrinsically a part of who I am, he said.The basic principle behind this prestigious award is to honour the fairest and best.If there is a question in peoples minds as to whether the 2012 award is taainted, the fairest and best thing to do is to give it back and honour the history that has gone before me.ddddddddddddWatson and his former and current Essendon teammates remain convinced they did not deserve the one-year suspensions.Watson took it harder than anyone else.He spent much of 2016 in New York - as far away as possible from the suffocating AFL bubble - before finally making the decision in September to resume his playing career in red and black in 2017.Doing so will be much less difficult without constant criticism about why he refused to voluntarily give the medal back.The AFL Commission gave Watson the chance to plead his case to keep it.Wisely, the 31-year-old turned them down.Handing the Brownlow back on his own terms and starting 2017 with a clean slate - or as clean as possible given the murky nature of what has happened at Essendon in the past few years - was the smart play.And it was the right play.
