Prince No. 2?
Forgot to mention this:
There is no official word, but it looks like freshman Kevin Prince has taken over the No. 2 spot at quarterback from Chris Forcier.
Prince took all the snaps with the second team offense today, and Forcier was running scout team at times.
Also, with Kyle Bosworth expected to miss at least two games and John Hale out with a neck injury, the linebackers today were: WLB Reggie Carter, MLB Steve Sloan and SLB Akeem Ayers.
Receiver Marcus Everett (toe) went through some individual drills.

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
True freshman Prince over the more experienced Forcier?
Reminds me of an exchange I once hear between an 18-year-old guy and a 60-something man: The 'elder' says that he has more experience. The 'younger' retorts that he has more talent.
Go Celts!!!!
What does Forcier have more experience at? Oh yeah, running Dorrell's scout team. Sounds pretty simple based on Dohn's reports this Fall - Forcier has been out-worked by Prince.
Wonder if C-Force will consider a position change after the season or a transfer elsewhere to play his final 2 years of eligibility following a 1 year sit out.
I would hope to think that Forcier will be more motivated to work harder on the playbook and compete for the position rather than just jump ship at the first bump in the road.
