Pomona's Rasshan Starts for Bruins
With Ben Olson's knee still a mess, and Patrick Cowan out, Osaar Rasshan started for the Bruins at quarterback.
Rasshan is the Pomona Garey alumnus who started the season as a receiver ... after being recruited out of high school as a quarterback.
Rasshan played most of the first quarter, throwing one pass (incomplete) and handing off to Chris Markey well enough that the Bruins got a field goal on their first possession.
UCLA's first play appeared to be indicate they were going to run the spread offense, with Rasshan deep in the backfield, with Markey. But that is the only time the Bruins have been in the formation so far.
The rest of the quarter, Rasshan was lined up under center ... and the Bruins were struggling.
Then, on the last two plays of the first quarter, receiver Brandon Breazell took one snap at quarterback and McLeod Bethel-Thompson took one snap.
Meaning Rasshan may be benched, arleady ... and also meaning UCLA has played FIVE quarterbacks this year. If we count Breazell as the fifth, and we may as well -- he probably throws the ball better than Rasshan, anyway. Maybe Bethel-Thompson, too.
