Personnel news: Mack, Schneider, QB

C Alex Mack has been named a semifinalist for the Rotary Lombardi Award.

PK Tom Schneider is out for the season with a torn leg muscle, and he will petition for a sixth year of eligibility. He was injured during warm-ups before the Tennessee game. While backup Jordan Kay has done well in Schneider’s absence, this is a big loss on special teams.

QB Nate Longshore is still not 100% and is still a “gametime decision” for Saturday. CC Times’ Jon Okanes thinks it’s only a 50-50 chance that he’ll start at UCLA. Backup Kevin Riley has been splitting snaps with him in practice this week and should be ready to go if needed after performing last Saturday.

Additional injury updates:

• WR Robert Jordan, TE Cameron Morrah are expected to play despite shoulder injuries last Saturday.
• DB Marcus Ezeff (quad) is still doubtful for Saturday unless Coach Bob Gregory thinks “he has to play.”
• DE Rulon Davis is still out for a few more games with a foot injury.
