UCLA's Torian White out for season Left tackle Torian White will miss the rest of No. 12 UCLA's season because of a badly injured right ankle. Bruins tailback Jordon James also is doubtful for next week's home game with his own ankle injury, coach Jim Mora said Friday night. Those two key injuries during a 34-27 victory Thursday at Utah dampened Mora's excitement over another gritty performance by UCLA (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12), which is off to its best start to a season since 2005. Mora relished the Bruins' performance under circumstances including significant injuries, chilly weather and a tenacious Utes effort.
