If there was any question as to whether UCLA had finally found a starting quarterback, Brett Hundley quelled all fears on his first collegiate play.
With the ball at the UCLA 28-yard line, Hundley took his first snap and ran it 72 yards for a touchdown. He even made a nice juke toward the end — and got some timely blocking — to ensure he got the score.

On Hundley's next two touches, he threw a pass for 36 yards and then threw an 11-yard touchdown.
Of course, he is playing a Rice team that hasn't won a season opener since 2008, but UCLA fans should be pretty pleased with Hundley's start.
