UCLA football: Offensive line changes continue

Ucla There was more shuffling along UCLA’s offensive line Wednesday morning.

Guard Chris Ward returned, replacing Greg Capella on the first team a day after being demoted. Ward, Capella and Albert Cid -- all sophomores -- are competing for the two starting spots.

“All three of them have shown flashes of being really good,” Coach Rick Neuheisel said. “All three of them have been inconsistent.”

Neuheisel said that was somewhat excusable for Capella and Cid. Capella moved from center to guard this summer. Cid is new to the program, having just transferred from Citrus College.

But Neuheisel said the 6-foot-4, 330-pound Ward “just has to keep his feet on the ground. He’s a very talented player, but he is playing one leg too often and he loses his power. A guy that size needs to play with power.”
