Social media shared their excitement for UCLA football's exhilarating 45-24 win over the California Golden Bears in their season debut at the California Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
The hiring of Bob Chesney to coach the Bruins brought a new level of energy into Westwood and as the game progressed that energy made it way over to social media. Here is some of what was said throughout the Bruins late blowout win to open their season.
First drive rust?
The UCLA secondary looked pretty bad on that first drive. Uh oh…

Defensive line beginning to make plays
UCLA getting some decent pressure with both four and on some designed pressures. (not sure why Cal didn't run the ball that drive)

Bad offense or good defense?
Cant tell if these Cal and UCLA offenses are remedial or if the defense on
each side is good

New Bruins, new win
Great Win by UCLA tonight! The part in the game after Cal got the TD to tie the game, the teams of the past 2 seasons would have given up and mentally broke down and lost this game. But they didn’t tonight. That is a testament to the job of Bob Chesney and his staff. Onto SDST
