UCLA Football: Freshmen Defensive Linemen Discuss “Improvement Week”

A lot has been made about the youth on the offensive side of the ball, but that youth continues for the Bruins on the defensive side of the ball as well, and the defensive line has been a prime example of the UCLA Bruins’ youth movement. Freshmen defensive linemen Otito Ogbonnia, Tyler Manoa and Atonio Mafi have given Bruins fans reason to believe the future is bright on the defensive side of the ball.

That future includes a continued baptism by fire for the freshmen as they will be exposed to game play at 5,360 feet above sea level as they visit Folsom Field this Friday.
