The UCLA Bruins are 2-2, and sure that may not be great, but it certainly is a much better record than the previous few years with Chip Kelly at the helm. This marks just the second time that a Bruins team under Kelly has reached or held a .500 mark in a season under his lead, and both of those times have happened in 2020.
UCLA reached the 2-2 mark via a dominant defensive victory over the Arizona Wildcats on Saturday night, 27-10.
While some may point to the fact that starting quarterback Grant Gunnell was knocked out on the Wildcats first snap as a reason why the UCLA defense limited Arizona to just 153 yards in the air and just 162 yards on the ground, the fact is: UCLA routinely won up front on defense, and that’s a recipe for success.
