Although the UCLA Bruins started spring camp expecting a heated race for the starting quarterback spot, it seems that neither Pat Cowan nor Ben Olson are actively trying to win the job.According to the Los Angeles Daily News, "Ben Olson completed 6 of 11 passes for 100yards and one interception - on a tipped pass - and Patrick Cowan was 2 for 8 for 7yards." The only touchdown of the scrimmage was scored by the third-stringer, McLeod Bethel-Thompson.
Bruin optimists will say that the lack of offensive productivity comes from the fact that the defense is just so good this year--but this is Westwood, so the spin is that the quarterbacks are still learning new offensive coordinator Jay Norvell's system.
