Joe Paterno's feet at Rose Bowl practice, December 2008We sure are glad Penn State wears Nikes after reading this article about the adidas woes of UCLA and Washington...
UCLA still did not have a diagnosis for tight end Logan Paulsen's right foot, but the scare from his latest injury caused the Bruins coaching staff to alter its offensive line by shifting starting right tackle Nate Chandler back to tight end.
The adidas shoe Paulsen is wearing is also coming under scrutiny, since the prevailing thought at UCLA is the sole of his shoe is too narrow and facilitated the injury.
"I had a similar circumstance at Washington," Bruins coach Rick Neuheisel said. "I had Jerramy Stevens there, a tight end, who broke his fifth metatarsal, and the complaint was the shoes that they're wearing doesn't have enough sole for their foot because they're big guys. The little toe hangs over the edge when they make their cuts, and (the injury) almost always happens when they're cutting on it."
Paulsen is one of three UCLA players to break the fifth metatarsal in his foot in less than a year.
