UCLA has a gigantic question at quarterback. For a team like the Bruins with potential to make the College Football Playoff that means drawing national attention.

Take Grantland for example which did an excellent piece on Josh Rosen and whether the Bruins can be successful should the true freshman win out the quarterback competition.

While reading the piece, Matt Hinton brings you a nugget unearthed while doing research, and it ought to please Bruins fans heading into the 2015 season.

"Altogether, UCLA boasts more cumulative experience across the entire roster (391 career starts) than any other FBS team, experience built on a talent base that has increasingly rivaled crosstown L.A. nemesis USC’s as the deepest on the West Coast; after a decade-plus of futility in the series, the Bruins have taken three straight against the Trojans by double-digit margins," Hinton writes. "They’ve demonstrated a clear upward trajectory across the board, improving from six wins in 2011 to nine wins in Mora’s 2012 debut to consecutive 10-win campaigns in 2013-14; last year marked UCLA’s first top-10 finish in the AP poll, at no. 10, since 1998."

The piece is definitely worth your time.
