Injury Tuesday
UCLA received a scare when left tackle Jeff Baca was helped from the field late in practice after trying to chase down a defensive player returning an interception. It's being termed a hamstring strain, but there will be more evaluation today.
Micah Kia moved to left tackle in place of Baca for the remaining reps. Another development was, even before Baca's injury, Mike Harris moved ahead of Kia at right tackle.
Also, UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said defensive end Reggie Stokes would undergo arthroscopic surgery to repair torn meniscus in his knee Thursday, with the hopes of returning Nov. 15 at Washington.
Backup punt returner and receiver Ryan Graves sat out practice with a strained hamstring.
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.
