## Resource

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. Only a handful, like QB Nico Iamaleava and edge rusher Sahir West, are locks; everyone else, including wide receivers like Landon Ellis and Leland Smith, faces fierce competition. The Bruins must quickly improve explosive plays, QB protection, and defensive pressure to compete in the brutal Big Ten. 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.
