I'm hearing UCLA is set to start walk-on Christian Garcia at left guard today. From what I've heard, UCLA's OL will look like this tonight against Nebraska:
LT - Conor McDermott
LG - Christian Garcia
C - Jake Brendel
RG - Caleb Benenoch
RT - Kolton Miller
Adrian Klemm's OL has been devastated by injuries. Alex Redmond quit and Fred Ulu-Perry transferred, but Kenny Lacy (ankle), Poasi Moala (hand), Tevita Halalilo (ankle) and Simon Goines (medically retired) are all unavailable because of injuries.
UCLA won't burn Zach Bateman's, Scott Quessenberry's, Josh Wariboko's or Andre James' redshirts for just one game tonight. I've heard UCLA has actually moved Najee Toran back to OL and he's the sole reserve for tonight's game. If somebody goes down, Garcia will take their place on the O-line with Toran filling in.
Just a brutal year for the O-line. Klemm's done an incredible job piecing this thing together. Tonight should be interesting, as two of Nebraska's D-linemen are considered big-time pro prospects.
