Quarterback
/ Defensive Front
|
| Brett
Hundley
has shown
in just
his first
year that
he is more
than capable
of guiding
this spread
offense
now and
in the future.
Led by All-American
Anthony
Barr, this
defensive
front seven
has the
potential
to keep
UCLA in
the Pac
12 title
chase again.

| Secondary
/ Pass Protection |
The
numbers
aren't good
here for
the nation's
91st ranked
pass defense.
Safety Tevin
McDonald
is a legit
talent but
the other
three full-time
starters
need replaced.
This offensive
line is
giving up
way too
many sacks.
This was
a very young
group in
2012. With
a little
more experience
this group
can do better.

DEPTH CHARTS were
only designed as a simplistic
gauge for listing players
that departed and players
that received the most
playing experience (consistent
starters). NationalChamps.net
recognizes the importance
of missing personnel data
not listed such as redshirts,
transfers, injuries, incoming
recruits, back ups and
alternates. Their coverage
will begin with our full
2013 Preseason Preview
due out this coming spring.

12/18/12
- Brett
Hundley is one of
the better young dual-threat
quarterbacks in college
football. His accomplishments
get dwarfed by the
Mariota's and Manziel's
of the world. His
passing game exceeds
his running ability
and the UCLA future
looks bright with
him under center for
three more years.
- It's
a good thing Hundley
can use his feet as
the Bruins ranked
118th nationally in
sacks allowed. This
issue needs to be
addressed quickly
with the many starters
returning to this
offensive line.
- The
loss of Johnathan
Franklin and his 1,700
rushing yards will
be sorely missed.
But the spread offense
bought in by coordinator
Noel Mazzone, who
scrapped the Pistol
offense favored the
past couple of years,
has worked immediate
wonders. Can it work
wonders with a former
highly recruited talent
like Jordon James
or possibly someone
else waiting in the
wings? This will be
a huge key.
- On
the plus side the
UCLA 3-4 front looks
ready to contend for
another Pac 12 Championship
Game. Former running
back/receiver Anthony
Barr is now the best
linebacker in the
Pac 12.
- Coach
Jim Mora has given
UCLA a no-nonsense
swagger where winning
games is to be expected.
A feeling exists that
this could be the
first time in a very
long time that the
UCLA football program
can compete on a national
level consistently.
The notion extends
beyond the Golden
State borders.
