Year 2 of the Chip Kelly era with the UCLA football team will begin sooner than expected. Two days sooner.
On Thursday it was announced that the Bruins will be playing their 2019 opener against Cincinnati at Nippert Stadium on Thursday, August 29. The game was originally scheduled to be played on Saturday, August 31, but was moved to “accommodate” ESPN, which will broadcast the game.
Kickoff time has yet to be announced, though we should expect the contest to start in the early evening as this will be a game played in the Eastern Time Zone.
