Former quarterback Darius Bell finds success at receiver position

Two seasons ago, then-sophomore quarterback Richard Brehaut was knocked out of UCLA's game at Washington with a blow to the head. With their other quarterback, then-redshirt sophomore Kevin Prince, already ruled out, the Bruins' final option at signal caller was fellow sophomore Darius Bell. Bell had a less-than-memorable debut under center, completing only one of three pass attempts with the completion being to the wrong team. His interception was returned for a touchdown that proved to be the final blow to the Bruins who lost 24-7. Nowadays, he doesn't line up behind center. Instead, he can be seen as a Y receiver, where he caught the first touchdown pass of his career Saturday.

Colorado had only had one touchdown on the scoreboard much of the game until the waning minutes of the fourth quarter. The win comes right off the heels of a disappointing loss to Oregon State that dropped UCLA out of the top 25. Read more...
