Finding the Right Tackle

UCLA junior Mike Harris started for senior Micah Kia at left tackle against the Cougars, and now the right tackle position might be up for grabs. Harris, who started all 13 games last season at right tackle, was suspended for a violation of team rules for the team's season-opening loss to Kansas State and did not play against Stanford.
Kia, though, injured his ankle during Tuesday's practice, and Harris practiced with the first unit for much of the week.
"Micah was ready to play, and in resting him over the course of the week, Mike had a great week of practice," Neuheisel said. "Micah will be ready to go this week. We'll wait and see about what (offensive line coach Bob Palcic) wants to do. My initial feeling would be yes, (Kia) gets it back. We want to have great competition there, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to see both players play."
