UCLA football: Bruins to start spring practice April 1

UCLA has already started its “Brett Hundley for the Heisman” campaign.

Expectations among fans are rising yeast-like every day.

The 2014 season could end the Bruins’ 16-year absence from the Rose Bowl game.

The elbow grease for those aspirations begins on April 1, when the Bruins open spring practice at Spaulding Field. It ends with the annual spring game in the Rose Bowl on April 26 at 5 p.m.

The Bruins will get in 15 workouts, including the game. Practices are open to the public.

Schedule

April 1, 7 a.m.; April 3, 4:30 p.m.; April 5, 10:30 a.m.; April 7, 6 p.m.; April 9, 7 a.m.; April 10, 4:30 p.m.; April 12, 10:30 a.m.; April 14, 6 p.m.; April 16, 7 a.m.; April 17, 4:30 p.m.; April 19, 10:30 a.m.; April 21, 6 p.m.; April 23, 7 a.m.; April 24, 4:30 p.m.
