1. UCLA Football Defense

If there’s anything to be thankful for with the UCLA Football team, it is the defense and Defensive Coordinator Tom Bradley who have changed the script from last year to this season.

Last year, the Bruins had a lot of injuries and were struggling with depth. One of the things that was affected, was the run game, which was atrocious. Things have changed.

This season, with the pieces in place, especially with the linebackers and the defensive line, The Bruin defense was able to not only improve but is one of the best defenses in the Pac-12. Currently, UCLA is 4th in total defense in the conference. The defense is one of the few things that has kept UCLA alive in several games this season.

The Bruins have had several unfortunate close losses, but if it wasn’t for the defense, things could have really gotten out of hand this season. Thank you
