Summary
Bob Chesney’s arrival has electrified UCLA football, bringing in top recruits, 45 transfers, and a flood of donor support—over $41 million, an 80% jump from last year. With quarterback Nico Iamaleava now fully integrated and a revamped ground game led by rusher Wayne Knight, the Bruins are poised for a turnaround. Despite being picked 13th in the Big Ten—a repeat of last year’s finish—their easier schedule and Chesney’s process-driven philosophy could make this his most successful debut yet. He’s not chasing win totals, but building a winning culture—one that’s already showing signs of life. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
