The UCLA football team is staying in a Woodland Hills hotel during preseason camp. Coach DeShaun Foster said the goal is to promote team bonding.
The rookie coach who fumbled his first Big Ten speaking gig devised a novel way to poke fun at himself. DeShaun Foster stepped in front of reporters Wednesday morning wearing a custom black T-shirt bearing a blue outline of California with a UCLA football helmet positioned over the school’s spot on the map alongside the words, “We’re in L.A.” That was the phrase that had made Foster a media-day meme in Indianapolis last week when he stumbled over his opening monologue.
” During the first of 20 scheduled camp sessions in preparation for the season opener at Hawaii on Aug. 31, the new boss watched his players go through the usual preseason drills for about two hours. Quarterbacks dropped back, one after another, focusing on their footwork before throwing passes into the end zone. Defensive linemen accelerated toward a staffer wearing blue pads on his arms, knocking the pads away before racing past him.
