Don't look now, but the supposedly washed up, no longer relevant Chip Kelly has his UCLA team at 5-0, having just knocked off #15 Washington, their first ranked opponent of 2022.
UCLA should be ranked pretty soon themselves. And they have a roster full of great names that energetic, fast talking announcers are likely to mispronounce, such as Titus Mokiao-Atimalala. (I remember how hard it was for old fart sportscasters to learn how to exist in a world that included Manu Tuiasosopo).
If things stay on track, this year's USC-UCLA game should be a good one.
