UCLA running back Paul Perkins is like comfort food. He can make the Bruins feel better when things aren't going so well.
Offensive linemen like it when he has the ball. The head coach is even a little happier when Perkins is running.
"When you can hand off and the ball doesn't have to travel through the air, and you can count on getting some yards, that's a nice thing," Coach Jim Mora said.
Perkins has done a lot of nice things for the Bruins the last two seasons.
His 121 yards against Washington State last Saturday put him in an exclusive UCLA club.
