LOS ANGELES – UCLA has three starters at running back but only one starting spot. The Bruins put off deciding on their lead back for four games, but now they must choose.
Coach Jim Mora said Monday he will tighten both the receiver and running back rotations. For the anemic running game, it means one running back from the team’s big three of Soso Jamabo, Bolu Olorunfunmi and Nate Starks will take over as the headliner while the other two step into the background.
The trio worked closely during the offseason, consistently saying each one supported and learned from his teammates in the midst of a position battle.
