PASADENA ? Tim Tebow. Terrelle Pryor. Brett Hundley?
UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel used all three quarterbacks in the same sentence after freshman Hundley excelled in the Bruins' closed scrimmage Friday at the Rose Bowl. Hundley had a 15-yard touchdown run and Neuheisel said he showed command of the offense in his first live-action setting this fall.
"He's going to be that quarterback that has a package of offense (designed for him)," Neuheisel said. "And as he plays that package will expand. We'll see how much he can grasp."
Hundley said earlier this week that he and Neuheisel still need to discuss his potential role this season and whether he should redshirt.
UCLA ran about 75 plays Friday, featuring a lot of running - and very little tackling. Pasadena temperatures were near 100, providing the Bruins with a likely preview of their season opener at Houston on Sept. 3.
"It was a great day to get used to playing there," Neuheisel said. "It will help us mentally."
Neuheisel said little about the play of quarterbacks Kevin Prince and Richard Brehaut, reiterating that he will choose a starter early next week.
INJURY UPDATE
Receiver Taylor Embree made it through warmups Friday and is expected to return to practice Monday. Embree, the Bruins' leading receiver in each of the past two seasons, has been out since early August with a strained calf.
Offensive guard Chris Ward said he will also return Monday. Ward, who sprained his right ankle this past Tuesday, has been shuffling between the first and second team all fall. Neuheisel said reserve F-back Damien Thigpen (hamstring) is questionable for the opener.
Neuheisel said offensive lineman Jeff Baca will return to practice next week and could be available for the San Jose State game. Baca, who broke his left ankle in spring, was initially projected to return in late September at the earliest. The junior has started at both guard and tackle.
UCLA will resume practicing Monday.
