He also refined his blocking technique with the help of Coach Weber.  The number-one skill that Coach Weber worked on with me, and with most of the line, was our finishing blocks. That emphasis has made me a much better player, and a better leader-I'm going snap-to-whistle every play. <br>In his first year in a Bruins uniform, Saffer impressed the coaching staff enough to trust him to start in seven games. Saffer was on the field for at least 70 plays in games against Ohio State, Arizona, Oregon and Oregon State. The following year he started all 12 games, missing just one offensive snap the entire season. Again a workhouse, he took at least 80 snaps in games against Alabama, California, Fresno State and Arizona State.<br>By 2001 Saffer had become a leader on the offensive line, and he stepped up his play another notch to earn second-team All-Pac-10 conference honors. In the game against Washington in which DeShaun Foster broke the single-game rushing recordwith 301 yards, Saffer graded out at 97 percent. For the year, he averaged at least an 88 percent grade in eight games and racked up 46 KO blocks. Unquestionably, Saffer had become the best bodyguard a quarterback could hope for.<br>Entering the 2002 season as an Outland Trophy candidate, Saffer and his three other returning starters on the offensive line expected to enjoy a winning season and see post-season action. What Saffer didn't expect to see was his photo on the cover of the  UCLA Football Media Guide, a rare occurrence for a lineman.  I would say I was surprised, but at the same time I feltthat I had put in the hard work and I've become a leader on this team -- and I didn't give them any reason not to put me on the cover, he quips.  I feel like I've made those decisions easier for our marketing department because I've done the best I could here. <br>Midway through the season the team has had only one conference loss and has become an offensive powerhouse, averaging 33.5 points per game. Their biggest upset was on their opening game against Colorado State, which was ranked 19th going into Pasadena and had the advantage of having already played two games. The Bruins defeated the Rams 30-19 in a thrilling match that saw the Rams ahead going into the fourth quarter.<br>Saffer has had great memories so far playing on the 2002 UCLA team.  Other than the fact that there's a lot of experience on this line, one of the great things about this offensive line is that everybody on the line enjoys hanging out together, off the field as well as on the field, says Saffer.  This really promotes team unity and even helps us on the field because we're able to communicate better -- it seems like we know what each other is thinking before we're thinking it. This is important, because with the offensive line you have to play as a unit. <br>Asked what advice he would give young offensive linemen, Saffer replies,  You need to make sure you know your sets, and know what you'
