The UCLA Bruins are often the overlooked team of the 4 teams coming over from the Pac 12 to the Big Ten, but DeShaun Foster has some pieces to work with in his first season as head coach of the Bruins.

Can UCLA surprise people in Big Ten country? Will Ethan Garbers be a great QB? What will the defense look like after losing D'Anton Lynn?

Will Decker of the Bruin Bible at the LA Football Network joins me to chat all things UCLA!

    I'm a Penn State fan, who can't wait to watch their matchup against the UCLA Bruins in October in Beaver Stadium (Happy Valley)! This will be there first matchup since 1968, which the Bruins hold a 4-2 record against the Nittany Lions.

    @bigtented seems like you are the only Big10 caster who is actually honest about the new incoming teams. But others saying UCLA is on par with Indiana is just crazy lol.

    I really feel like people are sleeping on UCLA. Don’t think they’ll win more than 8 games but I think 7 wins is a strong possibility

    8-4 - Coach Foster is going to be Prime 2.0 this year, but actually get wins no one sees coming. This is a heavy run first team that you'll have to stop in the trenches because Coach Foster will not stray from the path that got him here. TBD

    I seriously doubt ucla is bowl eligible this year. Tough schedule, loss of personnel and coaches. 8-4? They didn't win 8 regular season games last year. They lost to ASU and Cal. As for then players loving Foster, USC players were thrilled when Clay Helton took over. How did that turn out?

    Losing Chip was the addition that was needed. He had zero passion or willingness to actually coach from day 1. I tried to explain to my bruin brothers it was a horrible hire from the announcement of Chip. I figured it was a retirement scheme and clearly I was right. It was very hard to support the program under Chip. So yes the program is improved already by leaps and bounds. Our defensive scheme will stay the same. Sadly the DC chip brought in died (rip) which gave way to Chip hiring Lynn. I think the team just needed someone else leading the charge on defense. The Dline wes the key to success and we still have the architect of that, just now he is running the whole defense.

    4-5 Wins in '24. As of rn: OL-, IDL- & edge run depth amount to a smoking crater - resulting from roster mismanagement by former hcKelly. Also: Ucla missed on last 6 prized, class of '25 hs fb recruiting targets in June '24 (likely bc Ucla doesn't pay enuf). The '25 hs fb recruiting buzz Ucla had in May '24? Evaporated by the end of June '24. Thx to ex-hc Kelly, '24 Ucla's pass-blocking will likely be so-so or worse (no depth), wasting the giftings of the #5- or #4-most talented skill players' room in the 2024 18-team b1g. Semi-related topic that directly had an adverse impact on Ucla's June '24 hs fb recruiting efforts: '24 Washington is now a top-25 'bag' school, having recently swooped in 2x, at the 11th-hr, to snag highly coveted '25 hs fb recruits. Washington's '24 'bag' game may now rank in the top-8 or top-7 within the BigTen.
