Chesney’s Debut Sets UCLA’s Course | California Golden Bears Football News

Bob Chesney’s debut as UCLA’s new football coach hits the ground running against Cal on September 5 — a game that could set the tone for his entire tenure. With a favorable post-opener schedule and a roster loaded with talent, a win here could vault UCLA to a four-and-oh start, their first bowl-eligible season since 2012. Chesney, who led James Madison to the playoffs, brings intensity and meticulous preparation, while Cal’s new coach Tosh Lupoi seeks redemption after a decade of mediocrity. This Pac-12 clash isn’t just about tradition — it’s a high-stakes audition for both coaches, with early signs pointing to a Bruins team ready to make noise.
