UCLA’s interior defensive line received the news it wanted Sunday after an evaluation of tackle Eddie Vanderdoes’ left knee appeared to reveal only a mild injury.
Vanderdoes was sidelined in the second quarter of the Bruins’ 42-21 victory over Nevada Las Vegas on Saturday at the Rose Bowl and did not return. On Sunday, he tweeted, “My knee is completely fine. Nothing more [than] a minor strain.”
Meanwhile, answers remained frustratingly elusive for the rest of the Bruins’ defense.
Can they stop the run after making it the focus of their off-season?
