Day One at quarterback guru Steve Clarkson's 2014 Field Generals LA camp at Maranatha High featured many talented quarterbacks working to improve their craft.

Local standouts in attendance included Hart's Brady White, Servite's Travis Waller and Santa Margarita's KJ Costello. Foothill gun-slinger Kyle Kearns from NorCal looked sharp and should be a force on the upcoming 7v7 circuit.

The time has come. The 2012 college football season kicks off Thursday with a good set of games to get the ball rolling.

The only ranked team on the slate are #9 South Carolina who opens the year on the road against Vanderbilt in an early season SEC clash.

Another intriguing story line is the debut of Brett Hundley as UCLA starting quarterback in head coach Jim L. Mora’s first game at the helm.

In the battle of the Cougars, Washington State travels to Provo to take on BYU in Mike Leach’s inaugural game as WSU head coach.

Games to Watch

As CLA expected, the UCLA Bruins and first-year head coach Jim L Mora named former Chandler (AZ) standout quarterback Brett Hundley the starter last week. The expectation is that Hundley’s dual threat ability will flourish in their new spread offense.

The redshirt freshman beat out returning quarterbacks Kevin Prince and Richard Brehaut to claim the starting nod. The insertion of Hundley will surely energize the fan base and provide the Bruins stability under center for the foreseeable future.

It’s the first day of Spring and the UCLA football team is gearing up for a big season under new head coach Jim Mora. The Bruins officially open spring practice on April 3rd at Spaulding Field. Practices are open to the public and will provide the Bruin faithful with their initial glimpse at the 2012 UCLA Bruins football team.

The most anticipated competition will take place at quarterback. The Bruins return veterans Kevin Prince and Richard Brehaut and supremely talented redshirt freshman Brett Hundley.
