UCLA Football received arguably its best news of the offseason: As of today, UCLA will have all of its roster, minus one, available to play against the Cincinnati Bearcats. According to Chip Kelly this is the “healthiest” any of his teams has ever been to start a season. That bodes well for UCLA’s matchup with Cincinnati, which is expected to be a close affair (the betting line for the game stands at UCLA +3).
