Kirk Herbstreit and Matt Leinart predict UCLA will surprise with breakout season

Kirk Herbstreit and Matt Leinart have hopped on the UCLA football bandwagon.

Before the Bruins pummeled Hawaii 44-10 Saturday at the Rose Bowl, Herbstreit predicted a breakthrough season for the program under embattled coach Chip Kelly.
