Chip Kelly’s UCLA Bruins, like Oregon, will come into Saturday’s Top 10 showdown off a bye that came in the middle of a great brand of football over several weeks.
Many may think of UCLA as a team that can only win shootouts, but they are a much more well-rounded team on both sides of the ball than those who haven’t watched them this year may think.
On today’s episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin takes a look at Oregon’s impending week 8 opponent, the UCLA Bruins.
Kelly’s team has been susceptible to allowing yards through the air this year, as has Oregon, but that has been the only consistent, glaring weakness for the Bruins this year.
fTheir strengths come in the form of their best players, most notably on the offensive side of the ball with QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson and RB Zach Charbonnet.
And there’s a defensive name for UCLA that Duck fans are hoping won’t have his name called often this Saturday inside Autzen Stadium: Laiatu Latu.
