Lining Up

Aside from the quarterback battle, few other position competitions remain, though one is very important.

With junior Jeff Baca still out until late-September or early October, the UCLA offensive line remains in a state of flux, though junior college transfer Albert Cid and sophomore Greg Capella worked with the first team at guard in the scrimmage, while sophomore Chris Ward did most of his work with the twos.

"I put stock into every practice, whether it's a scrimmage or not," offensive line coach Bob Palcic said. "I'll be interested in evaluating this film, and I'll have about three more days until I make my decision. But I'm looking for eight guys. As long as I have eight healthy bodies, that's all I need."
