UCLA quarterback Ben Olson, who hasn't played yet this season after breaking his right foot in preseason camp,is working with the No. 2 offense this week and could see action Saturday at Husky Stadium.
UW defensive coordinator Ed Donatell said he doesn't think the UCLA offensive identity would change greatly with either Olson or starter Kevin Craft.
And if the UCLA offense gets an extra weapon this week, Donatell might have a little more to work with as well. Defensive lineman Senio Kelemete (knee) is working this week and is possible for Saturday, while cornerback Mesphin Forrester (knee) is practicing and probable. Corner Vonzell McDowell (arm) is practicing, too, although he remains limited.
However, not all the UW injury news was so good. Jordan Polk (concussion) remains out.
And Darin Harris's concussion is now considered likely to have ended his career.
Final note: The Huskies will practice outdoors this afternoon despite the nasty weather.
