UCLA Football: The Best Defense In The Pac-12?

UCLA football is going on their third defensive coordinator in three years. For most teams, that would be a cause for concern. For the Bruins, things are only going to get better.

When head coach Jim Mora took over the program in 2012, he hired Lou Spanos who turned out to be a good defensive coordinator that had a knack for in-game changes. Unfortunately after two years, he felt the need to return to the NFL as a linebackers coach.

That prompted Mora to promote then-UCLA linebackers coach Jeff Ulbrich to defensive coordinator for 2014.
