The Pac 12 is chalk full of star quaterbacks. It is led by Andrew Luck, Darron Thomas, and Nick Foles, all of whom are highly touted and accomplished quarterbacks. There is also the second tier of quarterbacks that includes Brock Osweiler, Jordan Wynn, Matt Barkley, and Ryan Katz. All of the other jobs were settled before spring practices. There remains one job that remains a mystery, and that's the quarterback job over at UCLA.
Kevin Prince was the starting quarterback for the Bruins last season and he was pretty disappointing. He started only five games and was very underwhelming as a passer. He is back for the 2011 season and is the odds on favorite to win this job.
Richard Brehaut took over as the starter last season once Prince went down. He actually did a really nice job last season and although he wasn't great, he was better than Prince was last season. However, Prince proved in 2009 that he is a capable quarterback.
Brett Hundley is an incoming freshman who was one of the top quarterback recruits in the country. He showed a lot of promise in the spring, but he got injured during the spring and is much more likely to redshirt this upcoming season than he is to start. If he is the best quarterback in practice, he will likely start because coach Rick Neuheisel is desperate for a winning season.
