Chesney’s Blueprint for UCLA Football | UCLA Bruins Football News

UCLA football is turning the page with the hiring of Bob Chesney, a proven winner at lower levels, tasked with injecting toughness and stability into a team that’s struggled with late-game collapses. Early projections from CBS analyst Brad Crawford paint a promising picture: a seven-win, five-loss season in 2026, including a bowl game, as Chesney brings structure and physicality to the Big Ten. While tough losses to Oregon, Michigan, and USC are expected, the key hinges on quarterback Nico Iamaleava’s adaptation to the new system. If he clicks, UCLA could be on its way to becoming a consistent force in its new conference. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
