The freshman from Detroit took the opportunity Saturday to show he deserves the job.
SAN DIEGO – Let the kid play, they said.UCLA’s coach came into the game against San Diego State with the intention of playing all three of his quarterbacks, freshman Dante Moore, senior Ethan Garbers and junior transfer Collin Schlee, the idea being that the question of who would be No. 1 hadn’t yet been decided.after the Bruins’ 35-10 beatdown of the AztecsBut the first three quarters would suggest that if it hasn’t already, it’s inevitable.
Later there was a 17-yard bullet to Logan Loya with 1:29 left in the first half, after getting the ball at the Bruins’ 15 with 2:16 to play. And the last was a sidearm sling off of play action that Carsen Ryan turned into a 6-yard touchown play for a 35-10 lead with 2:05 left in the third.
“I thought Dante did exactly what we’ve seen since he’s been here in January,” Kelly said. “We’ve talked about there’s a maturity to Dante. He doesn’t get overwhelmed by whatever the situation is. And I thought what people saw today is what we’ve seen for a while from him. And he obviously did some really nice things for us today.”“We just played a game,” Kelly said.
“If I’d have came in the fall or whenever. I think I’ll be screwed right now for sure,” he said. “I’m actually really happy that I got the chance to come in early … I keep bringing up, but having Latu coming off the age, being on your back, just really trying to put that pressure on you actually helped a lot. Of course, in the pocket, a lot of teams going to blitz, lots of their pressure.
