1. Can the run game improve?

it is no secret that UCLA had a horrendous running attack in 2016.  The Bruins were 127th out of 128 teams in the FBS, only running for 84.3 yards per game.  Clearly that needs to improve if UCLA wants to have any type of success in 2017.

2. Start the game/season strong against Texas A&M

If UCLA wants to start the season off right, they have to start their first game of the season off right and do to Texas A&M what they should’ve done last season. And then taking into consideration how the season ended, the Bruins should come out swinging against the Aggies.

3. Under Armour uniforms (and alternates?)

Under Armor takes over with UCLA around the start of July 2017, which will include the unveiling of the new uniforms for UCLA. Will this unveiling also come with alternate uniforms? And if so, when will the Bruins wear these alternate uniforms? We require answers!

4. Depth issues at certain positions

UCLA has some depth issues at certain position groups. Will this affect the overall product on the field?  If players get injured, does that hamstring the position group? With this in mind, we should hopefully expect the Bruin coaches to be prepared for anything.

5. Will UCLA pass or run on the first play of the season?

Yes it’s something very small to look for, but in recent years there’s been a little bit of excitement surrounding UCLA’s first play of the season. I say pass for a 70-yard touchdown strike. Rosen is back, y’all!
