Left guard Eugene Brooks and Safety Teo Johnson. Both have been out the past several weeks. Teo is a hard hitting physical Safety but Ta’Shawn James has been playing lights out in his absence.
Ucla is still without starting Left tackle Jordan Davis and lockdown Corner Roderick Pleasant. Both should be good next week. Getting back the 348 lb Brooks will certainly help. Somerville and Indestad have been doing a great job in Chesney’s rotational lineup. Both are 6’ 8” and will be needed against a really physical Minn defense.
Playing at Minn. against psycho PJ Fleck and a sold out stadium is a huge challenge. Minn. is going to be an angry team after losing to Indiana in the final 19 seconds last week. If UCLA can run the ball with some success that would give Ty some opportunities to take advantage of single coverage on the outside. Have no idea how this one turns out but I know CBC will have the guys ready.
