LOS ANGELES – Although the UCLA offense has been inconsistent through its first two games, head coach Jim Mora gave first-year offensive coordinator Kennedy Polamalu an “A-plus” for his play-calling.
Ahead of Saturday night’s game against BYU, Mora said he is impressed with Polamalu’s confidence and demeanor while calling plays for the first time in his 23-year coaching career. While the Bruins made the transition to a new scheme during the offseason, the head coach praised Polamalu’s attention to detail and relentless preparation, which is now paying dividends during the season.
“He knows why he’s calling the plays that he’s calling and the players know why he’s calling the plays he’s calling, and that makes a big difference,” Mora said.
