it appears he inherited a small squad that doesn't like to tackle with force.
I would say that is accurate. They start a DL that is 100 lbs lighter than most BIG O-lineman. Injuries and poor recruiting at UCLA in the past. PAC is a pass happy conference. Defenses are built that way. They can't compete with the BIG if they don't score 40 points. My observation of UCLA Is they lack talent across the board. At least compared to what I'm used to seeing in the BIG. Their QB is a stud though
Let's stop making excuses. His defense stinks, and it has a first round draft pick on it, and they can't stop a light wind. Credit when his defense is good, but no excuses when it isn't, and that's two defenses in a row that cannot stop anything, that Bradley has coached.
