In a meeting with Bruins defensive coordinator A defensive coordinator typically refers to a coach on a football team in the National Football League or college football who is in charge of the defense. This position aids the head coach a great deal in many ways by delegating play calling to other coaches and allowing the head DeWayne Walker, a scenario for using Davis next season in a role as defensive end with some linebacker responsibilities was mapped out. That was enough to convince Davis coming back for his senior season was a prudent move. ``I trust coach Walker and (defensive line) coach (Todd) Howard,'' said Davis, who is 6-foot-3, 240 pounds. ``What those two guys have done for me, they've totally changed my life. Before, I was just another college football player and now I'm one of the tops in the country. I'll be the No. 1 defensive end returning next year.'' Davis has been through this before. Former defensive coordinator Larry Kerr tried Davis at linebacker, but the experiment failed. ``It's not, `OK, you're going to do this for a couple of plays and in a few weeks we'll change you to something else,''' Davis said. ``(Walker) knows football, and from being in the (NFL), they have packages for guys like me. Guys like DeMarcus Ware, Shawne Merriman, and guys like that, and (Walker) wants me to be that guy.'' Davis tied for second in the nation (with teammate Justin Hickman) with 12.5 sacks and was named to several all-American teams. He believes he can be even more effective next season because of his versatility. As the season concluded, Davis' father, who is also named Bruce and was an 11-year NFL veteran, did some research to evaluate his son's draft status. ``They're saying they like me, and I'm going to be a great player in the future and I have what it takes, but it's not my time yet,'' the younger Davis said. ``And I haven't accomplished everything I want to at this school, so it's just not in my best interest to go right now. I don't think I'm physically mature enough.'' The pick, revisited: Bruins senior linebacker Eric McNeal said he's received attention because of his game-clinching interception against USC An abbreviation for U.S. Code. , but not as much as one might think. ``People that I know were calling me, but for the most part around school, it's been the same (as usual) for the most part,'' McNeal said. ``It's not like I expected, and not like everybody thinks it is.'' However, McNeal says he often sees the play, in which he tipped John David Booty's pass at the line of scrimmage line of scrimmage n. pl. lines of scrimmage Football Either of two imaginary lines extending across the field parallel to the goal line at the ends of the ball as it rests prior to being snapped and at which each team lines up for , spun and dove to snare snare (snar) a wire loop for removing polyps and tumors by encircling them at the base and closing the loop. snare n. the interception and secure UCLA's win.
