Laiatu Latu, whose mother once helped him fight to get medically cleared to play football, has become the formidable leader of UCLA's defense.
Before each play, as he hovers menacingly near the line of scrimmage, Laiatu Latu must decide how he’s going to humiliate the guy standing across from him. Does he go with a swim move, the UCLA edge rusher twisting his body before raising his arm above his head like he’s doing the breaststroke? How about a double swipe, where he knocks down the offensive tackle’s arms multiple times? Maybe he’ll go with his favorite, the Euro step.
Watching from her seat in the Rose Bowl, Kerry Latu finds herself so engrossed in her son’s pursuit of quarterbacks and running backs that she doesn’t think about his neck. Having prayed before the game for the health of both teams, she’s freed herself to cheer just like any other fan. “When it’s game day, I think I’m more focused on getting the quarterback — I’m just like, ‘Go get him!’ ” Kerry said, her voice rising to a shriek.
