More From UCLA Football
4-3 or 3-4?
We’ve mentioned here before that we expect new Defensive Coordinator Tom Bradley to convert the UCLA defense back to a 4-3, which they were prior to 2012, and which Bradley preferred during his Penn State days. However, I’m going to walk that back a little bit today, and here’s why:
- UCLA is deep at linebacker and, as Mike W.R. mentioned in his defensive line preview, thin on the line. It makes more sense, then, with too many talented guys to have a strict three-man limit, to use a base package with more linebackers and fewer linemen.
