Before the start of Saturday's Foster Farms Bowl, UCLA offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone was on the field, walking through lines of stretches and talking with players.
Less than two weeks ago, Mazzone had suffered what Coach Jim Mora characterized as a "serious" health issue. He missed multiple practices, and as recently as this week, Mora said he did not know whether Mazzone would make it to the game.
If he did, it was unknown if he would call the offense.
But doctors cleared Mazzone to fly, and he was able to call plays during the game.
