Kevin Coyle has led a resurgent UCLA Bruins defense that is not afraid to lower their shoulder and hit. They are also playing sound coverage and hitting gaps on running lanes. Over the last three games they have done this against Drew Allar, Aidan Chiles and Malik Washington. Good quarterbacks, but what lies ahead is a whole different ballgame.
Enter Fernando Mendoza and Julian Sayin. Two of the top quarterbacks in the nation who are right in the thick of the Heisman race. The UCLA defense is going to get the best test they could ask for over the next three weeks.
