UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel was asked about the progress of the offensive line.
“I think (JUCO transfer) Ryan Taylor is going to be a good player,” he said. “I think that Jeff Baca is going to be a good inside player. And I think that (Colorado transfer) Kai Maiava, as he learns, will become a steady guy inside.
“We still need more from (Nate) Chandler, still need more from (Micah) Kia. Not that I’m down on them, I just think we can get more out of them. They’re athletic enough to be better than they’re performing right now. And then I also am very enchanted with (Sean) Sheller, with the way that he’s working. We’re developing, and you know what, Sonny Tevaga has done some nice things.”
