Summary
UCLA’s football team is entering a wild new era under head coach Bob Chesney, loaded with 62 new players—including 42 transfers and 20 freshmen—creating a roster-wide scramble for starting roles.

Training camp begins August 12—the first real test of whether this chaotic rebuild can click. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
