The New UCLA Football Defense Is Plenty Improved

More From UCLA Football

So how did Tom Bradley do in his first game? He had the defense improve.

The defense was as good as we raved since Bradley took over just before Spring Practice, but in this game they started off a bit slow, especially the passing defense.

In three of their first five drives, Virginia was able to go more than 60 yards for a score and the majority of those plays came though the air.

The defensive line with Eddie Vanderdoes, Kenny Clark and Takkarist McKinley, were doing a great job holding back the Cavalier run game.
