Who’s running this team? UCLA’s DeShaun Foster said he makes fourth-down calls

Eric Bieniemy, a two-time Super Bowl champion offensive coordinator, constructed UCLA’s plays.

Deciding whether to go for it on fourth down?

That’s entirely up to DeShaun Foster, the new coach whose experience before this season had been confined to working with running backs.

“Every decision that we did was me,” Foster said Wednesday during his first meeting with reporters since the Bruins’ come-from-behind, 16-13 victory over Hawaii last weekend. “ … I’m telling everybody what to do. There’s no decisions being made by any other coaches, so anything that’s happening is coming directly from me.
