Saffer was on the field for at least 70 pays 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 record with 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 felt that 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.

But I would say the most important aspect of being a lineman is to be a technician-if your technique isn't good then you've got nothing. As for which college a high school athlete should aspire to, Saffer believes an athlete can't go wrong with UCLA.  UCLA has the perfect combination of athletics and academia. It's easy to get lost in athletics, but they've got such a great academic program you can really involve yourself in those classes as well. Also, our fans are loyal and support us with everything they've got. <br>Among the people Saffer wants to thank for helping him achieve his goals are Jerry Holmes, who coached Saffer when he played youth basketball, and Glenn Howell.  Glenn was a very close friend of the family who you could say tutored me in life as well as in athletics since I was in high school. I worked out with him all the time, and he's been a tremendous influence on my life. <br>With his standout abilities and attitude, Mike Saffer has earned his place in the UCLA history booWA{s&|Djy4:.>xê9ǚxrs]hV^o|P!KdQE#wikgnHϨZ*njnm}V~w+ψ#]rTd)=0"U@#jν ֑Hwr I02O&˨30.I }z21G x2KqҼ W Úip՞-Z=O\*VrOj%VhnaATk9uLj hNSq3U%Sy|=2mep7*A\dڕ8C5ZZPr)FN=; O4$G !Cpk$duw*C    $ &%# #"(-90(*6+"#2D26;=@@@&0FKE>J9?@=C  =)#)==================================================cK" }!1AQa"q2#BR$3b %&'()*456789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz
