It remains to be seen whether Ethan Garbers will start for UCLA against Minnesota, and DeShaun Foster is no hurry to say if Justyn Martin might start instead.
Ethan Garbers returned to practice Monday evening after a weeklong absence, though the
quarterback showed lingering effects from the injury that kept him out of the Bruins’ loss to Penn State last weekend. His right foot was heavily taped and his movements were not completely fluid as he dropped back during the portion of drills open to reporters. Garbers showed plenty of zip on his passes, but his mobility would be the big question if he played for the Bruins against Minnesota on Saturday at the Rose Bowl.
coach DeShaun Foster suggested after the Penn State game that Garbers would be the starter if he was available, calling it his team, while adding that he needed to rewatch footage of backup Justyn Martin’s admirable performance against the Nittany Lions. Clarity was not forthcoming Monday when Foster was asked what he saw from the film and what the plan would be against the Golden Gophers. “Justyn played a good game,” Foster said, “and we’re going to go into this week and see who can play.
’s fullbacks playing “a huge role when needed.” Through the first five games, it’s been more of a cameo than a star turn for Anthony Adkins. The transfer from Army has not made one carry or caught one pass while being used exclusively as a blocker. Foster said that’s a result of the team prioritizing a deeper position.
’s game against Rutgers on Oct. 19 in Piscataway, N.J., will start at 9 a.m. PDT and air on FS1.
