UCLA football opens spring practice Tuesday

In his fifth season at UCLA, Jim Mora, who made a name for himself coaching defense, will adjust the Bruins' offense.

The project begins Tuesday when UCLA holds the first of 15 spring practices. The first test comes in a season opener Sept. 3 against Texas A&M in College Station, Texas.

"It's always important that you maximize the talent and the abilities of your players," Mora said. "We have a unique quarterback right now and a chance to really tap into his greatness, so we are going to do things that we think will help him be successful.
