UCLA Football got off to a blistering 6-0 start with a win over Utah in 2022, only to falter down the stretch and end the year 9-4 under Chip Kelly in his fifth season.

Now entering his sixth year at the helm and having to replace his starting QB, RB, and WR1 from a season ago, the Bruins’ path to a Pac-12 Championship isn’t an easy one.

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I am joined by “Locked On UCLA” host Zach Anderson-Yoxsimer.

We discuss why although UCLA has enough talent to be a good team, it’s hard to see them truly being a conference contender despite their favorable schedule.

UCLA still does not know who’s going to be their starting quarterback come this Fall.

Zach lays out the argument for building for the future and starting 5-star true freshman Dante Moore who they flipped from Oregon in December making big waves on the recruiting trail.
