LOS ANGELES (AP) If absence makes the heart grow fonder, No. 20 UCLA will be pining over linebacker Myles Jack and cornerback Fabian Moreau for a long time.

Already coping with the absence of defensive lineman Eddie Vanderdoes following a season-ending knee injury in the opener, the Bruins' defense has been a mess since also losing Moreau (foot) and Jack (knee) to injuries. Moreau and Jack were both going to be gone for the year, and Jack has since also decided to drop out.
