LOS ANGELES -- UCLA dropped offensive coordinator Kennedy Polamalu on Sunday after a dismal season for the Bruins offense.Coach Jim Mora announced the move one day after his worst year in Westwood ended at 4-8 with a loss at California.Polamalu spent just one season calling plays for the Bruins offense after two years as their running backs coach. The veteran assistant was promoted and promised to bring a physical, run-based pro scheme to the school after four seasons under Noel Mazzone, who ran a sophisticated college-style passing game.Instead, UCLA finished 127th out of 128 FBS teams with just 84.3 yards rushing per game. The Bruins also did little with talented sophomore quarterback Josh Rosen, who will have his third offensive coordinator in three seasons next year after missing the second half of this season with injuries.I want to thank Kennedy for his hard work, dedication to the program and commitment to our student-athletes, Mora said in a statement announcing his move. He is a professional in every sense of the word.After starting the year as an AP Top 25 team and the favorite to win the Pac-12 South, UCLA finished with its worst season record since 2010, which is also the last time the Bruins missed a bowl game.UCLA finished 92nd in the FBS in total offense and 96th in scoring offense after de-emphasizing its ineffective running game later in the season. Replacement starting quarterback Mike Fafaul, a former walk-on, set school records with 70 passes and 40 completions while running a spread offense during a shootout loss to Utah last month.Polamalu remained the Bruins running backs coach this season while also taking over play-calling responsibilities. He later adjusted his sideline duties, saying he didnt have enough time to give key coaching to running backs Soso Jamabo, Bolu Olorunfunmi and Nate Starks.Paul Perkins was a 1,000-yard rusher for the Bruins in 2014 and 2015, but UCLA managed just 1,011 total yards rushing this season.Polamalu was Mazzones running backs coach for the previous two seasons at UCLA. He was the offensive coordinator and running backs coach at crosstown rival Southern California from 2010-12 under Lane Kiffin, who called the Trojans plays.Mora is 41-24 in five seasons at UCLA, with two 10-victory seasons and two bowl wins in his first significant college coaching job. The former Falcons and Seahawks head coach had never won fewer than eight games at UCLA before this year.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-Top25Scarpe Jordan a Poco Prezzo .com) - The Montreal Canadiens embark on their first road trip of the season as they head out west to battle the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.

For a high-profile club that boasts hockeys top player in Sidney Crosby, another wasted year wasnt an option -- Pittsburgh had been knocked out of the playoffs in the first round the previous two. So coach Mike Johnston was fired and replaced by ex-Bruins boss Mike Sullivan, who promptly led the Pens to their second Stanley Cup of the Crosby era and first since 2009. Another result of those moves and the title? They also climbed 20 spots in our standings.Whats goodPristine six-year-old PPG Paints Arena for starters, which provides the third-best stadium experience in the NHL (after Nashville and Chicago, 12th overall). Crosby alone is worth the price of admission which, while not cheap, compares favorably to rivals who dont ice a future Hall of Famer. Speaking of those, 1997 Hall inductee Mario Lemieux knows how to treat his customers: Ownership gets sky-high marks (No. 8 overall), and the Penguins have better fan relations (fifth overall) than the NFLs famously friendly Green Bay Packers. The fans like their chances of repeating, too, and for good reason. Pittsburgh is the clear ffavorite to take the weak Eastern Conference again, and only the similarly stacked Blackhawks -- Cup champs in 2010, 13 and 15 -- are on a better Title Track (no.dddddddddddd 4).Whats badIts hard to knock an organization that ranks in the Top 20 across six separate categories. But since we have to, affordability and bang for the buck have some room to improve. Though the Pens average ticket is more than $10 over the league average, seven NHL teams charge more (including six that havent hoisted the Cup in more than two decades). And once fans get into the building, they enjoy the least expensive beers ($5.25 for a 12-ounce brew) and sodas ($3 for the same size) in the league.Whats newJohnston left with a winning record (58-37-15), but a dismal five-game elimination to the Rangers in 2015, combined with Sullivans instant success, improved the Penguins coaching rank by an insane 80 spots (to 17th). A roster that already included prolific scorers Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel was bolstered by the in-season addition of role players Trevor Daley, Carl Hagelin and Justin Schultz, helping boost players 41 places. The group returns mostly intact this season, the Pens 50th, with journeyman defenseman Ben Lovejoy the lone significant loss.Next: Anaheim Ducks?| Full rankings ' ' '
