With Ethan Garbers, Dante Moore and Collin Schlee set to play, center Duke Clemens says, ‘If I know who I’m running with, then I know we’ll be in good shape’
will be fielding three quarterbacks
Clemens and his fellow offensive linemen have worked to build trust with the three quarterbacks who will play – Ethan Garbers, Dante Moore and Collin Schlee – since spring camp. “The main person that starts it is Duke,” Moore said. “I knew Duke coming in, I know he’s been here many years and he pulled me to the side and said, ‘I got you.’”
Clemens is supportive of putting three quarterbacks in Saturday’s game, a sentiment many other Bruins have shared. That includes running back Carson Steele, who is roommates with Schlee. Steele will be making his first appearance in a UCLA uniform after transferring from Ball State. He said he plans to get at least eight hours of sleep the night before the game and stick to his usual superstitions of doing everything right to left the day of the game – despite being left-handed.
Steele’s mindset fits into UCLA’s as a whole. Kelly said that he doesn’t believe in the “gamer” concept, the theory that a player can rely on talent and instinct to rise to the occasion and perform well despite a lack of preparation.
