Just what UCLA needed. Another running quarterback to worry about.
Every time Nevada Las Vegas’ Johnny Stanton dashes across the Rose Bowl field Saturday evening, the Bruins might be reminded of the pain inflicted by Trevor Knight, the Texas A&M quarterback whose touchdown run on an option read in overtime spelled defeat for UCLA in its season opener.
Stanton has been on the move since he departed Santa Margarita High three years ago. He barely played in two seasons at Nebraska, appearing in two games and throwing one pass. His inactivity was partially the result of a prolonged recovery from a severe knee injury he suffered his senior year in high school.
