UCLA Football: Where does the defense go from here? Recap and outlook

There was going to be aggression. There was going to be violence. There was going to be a defensive revolution. The UCLA football team was going to blow people’s minds… and they just might in 2019.

A year ago, UCLA fired Jim Mora and hired Chip Kelly. Kelly then started assembling his staff and with the offensive mastermind shaping his side of the ball, he went to a former colleague to shape the defensive side. Kelly needed someone that would compliment his uptempo offense. He needed someone that would give the Bruins’ defense a boost.

He needed someone that understood all that would go into rebuilding a program from the ground up.
