The defense was off to a strong start under new coordinator Bill McGovern, but it gave up 399 yards in a 32-21 win that kept the Bruins undefeated going into Pac-12 play.
PASADENA — After practice last Wednesday, UCLA coach Chip Kelly pulled up a sheet of South Alabama’s statistics and showed them to his players. Among the more impressive numbers: The Jaguars were the top Group of Five team in ESPN’s overall efficiency rankings.
“That’s a really, really good football team, and we knew this was going to be a close, back-and-forth football game all along,” Kelly said, “So there’s nothing they did that surprised us.” There is still plenty of time to make Saturday’s shaky win — which required a botched trick play by South Alabama and clutch kicking by Nicholas Barr–Mira to pull off — a footnote.That may start with the defense, which was off to a strong start under new coordinator Bill McGovern. UCLA entered the game leading the Pac-12 in rushing defense, allowing 62 yards per game. It limited Bowling Green and Alabama State to an average of 236 yards per game, ranking 13th in the country in total defense.
