The UCLA football team will return a lot of familiar faces on defense, but these faces will have a new look. With the Bruins having a changing of the guard over the season, new head coach Chip Kelly has employed the services of Jerry Azzinaro to make the defense more aggressive.
Along with new linebacker coach Don Pellum, Azzinaro will change the shape of the Bruins and make them more of “violent” squad. Though there have been issues with linebacker recruiting and development with the old regime, Azzinaro looks like he will have his linebackers raring to go in 2018.
