In football, one man's loss is another's opportunity.
Injuries to UCLA's corps of linebackers has allowed senior Aaron Wallace to have a greater role, as a player and a team leader.
Wallace stepped in, and up, in the Bruins' game against California last Thursday, finishing with 2 1/2 sacks in a 40-24 UCLA victory.
"I'm feeling more comfortable out there and not second-guessing myself," Wallace said. "During the game, I really didn't think too much about the sacks. Afterward, it felt really good to have them."
UCLA sacked Cal quarterback Jared Goff five times and pressured him often.
