UCLA's problems got a little worse Tuesday, as quarterback Ben Olson did not practice because of "headaches," Coach Karl Dorrell said. Patrick Cowan was in charge of the first-team offense in his first full practice since returning from a partially torn hamstring. Whether Olson would be ready in time for Saturday's game against Washington is unclear. Olson was not allowed to speak with the media Tuesday and Dorrell was vague about the injury. Olson was battered repeatedly in Saturday's 44-6 loss to Utah.

Sounds like he's suffering a concussion...I'm sorry to hear it. Football takes a huge toll on QBs, and all ball carriers. Hope he gets rested and feels better.

Yeah, those definitely sound like concussion symptoms.

I wouldn't mess around with those if I was Dorrell. I would sit Olsen down and let Cowan start against Washington.

I have P.C.S. and C.M.s. those things are nothing to mess with I hope he doesnt develope them. Too many concussions lead to bad things and end careers way too soon.

I wonder if Tongan saw through the truth's thinly failed analogy?

I don't believe it was a concussion. I think they want to let Olson ride the bench in a respectable manner. Save some of his pride...

I live in a 17th century cottage that has no basement. My mom quit making me snacks 30 years ago and World of Warcraft sucks!!! But the World of Witchcraft that I live in and practice is doing just fine. Thanks for asking! :)
