Post practice Tuesday
Lots of doings on offense with mixing and matching along the offensive line and plenty of players getting looks. It is far from settled, but UCLA ended the practice with the following lineup:
LT Micah Kia, LG Darius Savage, C Jake Dean, RG Brandon Bennett, RT Nick Ekbatani.
At times Jeff Baca was working with the first team at left tackle, and Scott Glicksberg was working with the first team at left guard.
Also, UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said running Kahlil Bell is between "doubtful and probable" for the game, and freshman Derrick Coleman received many of the reps with the first team.
As far as the injured, WR Nelson Rosario (knee), RB Raymond Carter (knee), DT Jerzy Sierwierski (neck), TE Nate Chandler (neck) and LB John Hale (neck) all did not do much in practice, and more should be known on their status Wednesday.

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
Brian,who was the 1st team rb today.
Derrick Coleman. I wrote that he took most of the reps with the first team.
Brian, what about A. Dean and Franklin?
I think that a big mistake is being made not using Trevor Theriot running the ball. This kid is a stud, runs downhill and very fast. With his size and the way he likes to hit tacklers, I think it is a perfect combo with our O-line issues. Correct me if I'm wrong Brian, but doesn't he run close to a 4.4/40? At his size, that is a no brainer in our situation to me. Did everyone see his speed down the sidelines on that short kickoff last Saturday?
