As season opener nears, UCLA has yet to announce a starting quarterback

The Bruins have not formally named a starting quarterback nine days before their opener at the Rose Bowl. Coach Chip Kelly recently said the winner of the job should be apparent to players as well as coaches, but receiver Christian Pabico said there remained no clear front-runner with only two days left in training camp.

“I wouldn’t go as far as to say that someone has separated [himself],” Pabico said Thursday. “I think all the quarterbacks are doing a really good job.”

Graduate transfer quarterback Wilton Speight has worked with what appears to be the first-team offense during formation drills in recent practices, but reporters have not been able to observe any team periods.
