Let us get down to brass tacks, this is not a good start for the UCLA football team. But let’s be clear, if this was Chip Kelly’s third year, there would be legitimate cause for concern (and banners flying above Westwood, if you want to go there). Right now, there really is no need for concern (youth, new system, new coach – all the reasons you want to avoid and just be completely critical of the Bruns at this very early stage of Kelly’s tenure).
But this is not Kelly’s third year. It is his first heading into the 4th game of the season.
