DeShaun Foster's spring practices at UCLA could be a lot different than the ones Chip Kelly oversaw. Here are five things to watch for in the weeks ahead.
football under Chip Kelly felt like a boardroom meeting, full of analytics and stuffy presentations and half-baked justifications for inadequate results. In the early going under DeShaun Foster, it feels like a family reunion. Everyone’s dropping by, catching up and enjoying themselves. It’s fun again to be Bruin.
’s starting quarterback in his final college season. His steady play, toughness and newfound running ability are just what the Bruins need to succeed in their first Big Ten season. Senior Collin Schlee can continue to take occasional snaps as a change-of-pace running quarterback, with redshirt sophomore Justyn Martin and sixth-year senior Chase Griffin serving as the other top backups.
’s quarterbacks last season given their struggling offensive line. The Bruins gave up 42 sacks, ranking No. 113 among major college teams. Every starter except center Duke Clemens is expected back, meaning there could be some improvement on the horizon. New offensive line coach Juan Castillo also will presumably open up the competition so that the returners who didn’t play much and the newcomers have an opportunity to earn meaningful roles. Things certainly can’t get much worse.
’s defense could be living on the edge without Laiatu Latu and twins Grayson and Gabriel Murphy. Those three edge rushers combined for 26 sacks last season while making things considerably easier for every player around them. Their departures mean that new defensive coordinator Ikaika Malloe must find some production out of far less heralded players. Candidates to provide the necessary quarterback pressure include Choe Bryant-Strother, Joquarri Price and a host of newcomers.
