UCLA escaped Salt Lake City with a 34-27 win over Utah Thursday night, improving to 4-0 on the season with a win in their Pac-12 opener.
Torian White injury: Starting UCLA OT out with broken ankle
Bad news for the Bruins, who lose a key contributor on the offensive line.
The Bruins suffered a big loss, however, as starting right tackle Torian White received an injury during the game.
LT Torian White is out indefinitely with a broken ankle.

White started all 14 games for the Bruins as a redshirt freshman in 2012, and was a recruiting coup for UCLA over rival USC.
Redshirt sophomore Ben Wysocki was listed as White's back-up at right tackle for the Utah game, and UCLA will likely bump him up to a starting role, although another current starter could come in to play.
OL coach Adrian Klemm said he won't burn more redshirts due to Torian White's injury. Likes who he has. Su'a-Filo can play LT if needed.

Su'a-Filo's backup at left guard is true freshman Kenny Lacy, so it will be interesting to see how the Bruins decide to handle their new offensive line rotation.
Another option for the Bruins is one of the two players in their right guard rotation -- Caleb Benenoch or Alex Redmond. The two have been listed as co-starters, and one could be pushed outside.
