Tackling the line

| | Comments (0) |

With the retirement of starting right tackle Aleksey Lanis because of knee injuries, UCLA's tackle depth took a bit hit. Now, with Micah Kia on the left side and Sean Sheller on the right, it leaves Mike Harris as the No. 1 backup at both positions. Brandon Bennett is the other tackle on the roster.
"I really do sense the urgency to get better because there's only four tackles,'' Harris said. "There's only a few of us. (The coaches) have to be able to count on us, so we have to get in the playbook and come out on this field and execute our assignments. That way the coaches will know they can count on us in the season, because they'll see we know the plays and can execute our assignments."
