Availability Report for Illinois and UCLA's Week 11 showdown

It’s a short week for the No. 4 UCLA Bruins but UCLA won’t be too short-handed in their Big Ten Conference matchup against Illinois Friday night at the Rose Bowl.

UCLA released their availability report on Thursday, with eight Bruins having been ruled out for the game. We’re in Week 11 so every team is facing some injuries and while the UCLA offensive line has been taxed, the team remains in OK shape.

QB Nico Iamaleava, OL Sam Yoon, WR Mikey Matthews, WR Jonah Smith, OLB Ryan McCulloch, WR Jalen Saint Paul, DL Ashton Sander and OL Hall Schmidt have been ruled out for the game. WR Shane Rosenthal and OL Riley Robell are listed as questionable.

Robell has been UCLA’s starting center this year, so his availability could go a long way for the interior of the Bruins’ offensive line. Schmidt has been a big piece at tackle for UCLA but the Bruins will be getting Jordan Davis back this week, giving the team a potential replacement at tackle for Schmidt.

Illinois have ruled 10 players out, with WR Jayshon Platt, RB Ca’lLil Valentine, QB Michael Clayton II, DB Jacob Eberhart,  RB Javari Barnett, DB Tywan Cox, LB Grant Beerman, DL Carter Smith, OL Kai Pritchard and OL TJ McMillen being ruled out. The Fighting Illini also have OL Jake Renfro and TE BJ Thurman labeled as questionable and DL Will Holmes and DL Demetrius John owning a probable label.

Illinois will be heading out west to the Rose Bowl on the short week as 10 point underdogs against the 9-0 Bruins.
