UCLA offensive tackle Sean Sheller has been granted an additional season of competition by the NCAA.

Sheller, who started 11 games at offensive left tackle in 2010, missed the entire 2006 season due to a knee injury and the 2008 season due to knee and ankle injuries.

The Bruins now have two returning starters from this season's offensive line (tackles Sheller and Mike Harris) plus two returning starters from the 2009 season - center Kai Maiava, who missed 2010 due to injury, and guard Jeff Baca, who missed the year due to eligibility issues.

The Pasadena Star-News rans a story today on the latest information regarding the renovations at the Rose Bowl, including a new video board and vintage scoreboard.

There is an official groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for next Tuesday.
