UCLA regains DB but lose one to injury
Jack injured his knee during a non-contact drill near the end of Tuesday’s practice, and had surgery that evening. “Isaak’s played big games-he played against Stanford when [Eric Kendricks] got hurt [in 2013]”.
Through three games, Jack continues to be a dominant force for UCLA.
It was the latest bad news in what was building to a big season for the Bruins.
Jack had a nose for blitzing at just the right time, and using his speed to pressure the quarterback and disrupt the play even if he didn’t plant him in the turf. Redshirt freshman Will Grier will take Harris’ spot on Saturday. “You have to prepare as if you”re a starter.”.
“The only way to build depth is by playing guys,” Mora said.
UCLA will have plenty of tough match ups following their game against Arizona including battles with Arizona State, Stanford, Cal Berkeley, and of course the USC game to finish the season. “But the fact that we were able to survive without that being the case will be positive for us down the road.”.
With his two-way skills and athleticism, Jack was the most prominent player on the Bruins’ roster along with freshman quarterback Josh Rosen.
As Jack tweeted Wednesday, it’s now a “next-man-up philosophy” for the UCLA linebackers, and they’re in good shape so far with Bradley’s system of rotation. Moreau will now have a decision to make after the season about whether to turn pro, weighing his rehabilitation from a season-ending injury with his option to return to the Bruins as a fifth-year senior. Now it’s time to deliver on the field in one of the nation’s toughest leagues. “He was three players in one.”. The only good news is that cornerback Ishmael Adams was reinstated after it was announced that he would not face felony robbery charges following an August 30 arrest when he was accused of stealing an iPhone from an Uber driver. Safety Tahaan Goodman and linebacker Kenny Orjioke will see their roles increased. “The most important thing is that you’ve got to know what you want”.
The Bruins would like to mix and match defensive combinations according to the situation, but getting substitutes on the field can be hard against a no-huddle team such as Arizona. “We”ve been losing a lot of All-American, National Football League guys.
“He’s a three-year starting corner”, UCLA coach Jim Mora said.

Hollins adds that while the injuries are hard, other guys will need to step up.
