Former quarterback Darius Bell finds success at receiver position
Two seasons ago, then-sophomore quarterback Richard Brehaut was knocked out of UCLA's game at Washington with a blow to the head. With their other quarterback, then-redshirt sophomore Kevin Prince, already ruled out, the Bruins' final option at signal caller was fellow sophomore Darius Bell.

The win comes right off the heels of a disappointing loss to Oregon State that dropped UCLA out of the top 25. Read more...
