LOS ANGELES (AP) – Johnathan Franklin and Akeem Ayers immediately noticed the change in their fellow UCLA students’ faces when they got back to Westwood last Sunday.
Instead of the usual grimaces and halfhearted words of encouragement, the Bruins got nothing but spontaneous smiles and cheers from the student body when they returned from a stunning 34-12 victory over Texas.
Although Franklin and Ayers knew they deserved to be big men on campus, the Bruins have seen too many hard times in the past three seasons to get too excited – even about the biggest victory of coach Rick Neuheisel’s tenure.
