Go Joe Bruin takes a look at five very interesting position battles with the UCLA Football team going into fall camp.

It is almost time for the UCLA Football team to suit up again as fall camp is nearly upon.

With that Go Joe Bruin looks at five position battles that will be piquing our interest for the next four weeks up until the season opener at Texas A&M on September 3.

Backup Quarterback

Devon Modster vs Matt Lynch vs Mike Fafaul vs Dymond Lee

By now everyone should know that Josh Rosen has the starting quarterback spot locked up, but who is going to be the #2 and back him up this season? Unlike last year, the Bruins have some quality back up quarterbacks (no disrespect to Jerry Neuheisel) that the coaching staff would be a little bit more confident inserting in if anything happens to Rosen.

Fafaul has the most experience with the offense. He has regular season game and bowl game experience, though mostly at back up and with very few minutes. Though he would lend decent support to Rosen, the Bruins loaded up on talent at the quarterback position last signing day.

Both Modster and Lynch have their advantages at quarterback, but overall they are a step up from the talent UCLA had backing up Rosen last season. Lynch might have a slight advantage as he enrolled early to participate in spring practice, but Modster might have the advantage with his skills.

Lee could be a fourth option despite the fact that he was recruited as a receiver. In high school he played both positions and was pretty reliable QB. Although, unless he completely blows the coaches the way, he might stay with the receivers this season.
