LOS ANGELES — Chip Kelly is getting closer to choosing his first quarterback at UCLA.

He has also identified six players that will be suspended for his anticipated debut leading the Bruins on Saturday.

Offensive lineman Boss Tagaloa, tight end Devin Asiasi, running back Soso Jamabo, defensive lineman Osa Odighizuwa, defensive back Mo Osling and defensive lineman Moses Robinson-Carr will not play against Cincinnati because of unspecified violations of athletic department policies.

Tagaloa and Asiasi are each suspended for the first three games of the season. Jamabo will also miss the game at No. 7 Oklahoma next week.

“We got to move on, and they understand what the punishment is and they have got to hopefully learn from it,” Kelly said Monday.

Offensive tackle Andre James said Kelly’s push to make accountability a staple of his program is reflected in the decision to announce the suspensions.
