Depsite the recent cold weather in Los Angeles, I half expected to be freezing upon arriving at Lot 8 to watch UCLA football’s first spring practice of the Chip Kelly era. This year, practice starts a month early and thanks to the brilliant strategy by UCLA, it will span seven weeks. You could say things are Bruin with this culture change.
It was a gorgeous sunny morning in Westwood. The sun shined down on Spaulding Field as several players were already out, waiting for the clock to strike 7:15 a.m., the official start time of practice.
