UCLA Shocks Cal in Season Opener | UCLA Bruins Football News

UCLA stunned Cal with a 45-24 victory, showcasing a high-octane, disciplined attack led by six rushing touchdowns — more than they scored all last season. Under first-year coach Bob Chesney, the Bruins delivered a statement win in their Big Ten opener, overcoming a third-quarter tie and sealing it with two clutch fourth-quarter touchdowns from Wayne Knight, set up by key interceptions. With 37 players making their debut and transfers like Knight and TaShawn James praising the team’s newfound energy and trust in Chesney’s vision, the future looks bright. Despite uncharacteristic penalties that cost yardage, UCLA’s resilience shone through. Quarterback Nico Iamaleava believes the sky’s the limit if they stay focused — setting the stage for a promising Big Ten campaign.
