## Resource

UCLA’s defense ranked dead last last season—127th out of 136 teams—so new coaches Bob Chesney and Colin Hitschler pulled off a massive overhaul, bringing in 21 new defensive players via the transfer portal. Three key players must step up or the Bruins risk another dismal ranking: pass-rushing transfer Sahir West, who led his old team in sacks; versatile local cornerback Scooter Jackson, expected to move to outside corner; and veteran linebacker Sammy Omosigho, who brings playoff experience and leadership. Their performance could be the difference between chaos and championship-caliber defense. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
