Former Bruins head coach Rick Neuheisel discusses 2024 squad

Neuheisel addresses the Bruins team.

Wednesday was the day for the UCLA Bruins at Big Ten media day. While the Bruins were at Lucas Oil Stadium, former head coach and also quarterback Rick Neuheisel was in attendance. He was asked about his former team and had great things to say about both Coach DeShaun Foster and also quarterback Ethan Garbers.

He had this to say about Garbers:

“I like Ethan. Ethan was fantastic in that bowl game. Went out there and hit his first nine passes. That’s not easy to do. He got the Bruins back in control of that game, and that’s great confidence to springboard into this season.”

Neuheisel played at UCLA and was the starting quarterback for the 1983 team. He went undrafted in 1974 and then came back in 1986 to be a graduate assistant. He was on staff at UCLA until 1993. He then came back after several stops in other places to be the head coach from 2008-2011.
