The IMPOSSIBLE RISE of UCLA Football... 

I do have to give some notes about DTR: Its not that Chip didn't trust him, its that DTR only had one full season playing QB at the HS level; prior to his senior season he split time at WR and RB. So its a matter of Chip knowing that DTR was incredibly raw as a passer and needed extended development, thus bringing in Speights to give DTR that time.

As a lifelong UCLA fan, I feel for Rick Neuheisel. He wanted to pay his top assistants and the AD at the time didn’t spend as much as they would now on team personnel. I strongly feel that Jim Mora had success right away due to all the players that Neuheisel recruited and brought it (Hundley, Barr, Kendricks). Mora benefited from his players and after a few years he brought in high ranked classes but couldn’t develop them. Mora is a defensive guy and at the end of his tenure they had highly ranked prospects who didn’t know how to tackle. So as much as Mora wom early on I think there was more to it than most people saw.

I seen this coming, DTR & Charbonet last year we’re tearing it up. Soon as I heard they were coming back I said it was gonna be a good season for them. I said the same thing about Illinois this year too!

Great vid man! As a life long ucla fan this did a great job of summarizing the last 20 or so years of ucla football. A lot of unrealized hype could sum up the teams in the past. This years team is strong on all sides of the football. Had some growing pains in the first 3 games, but found ways to win. If Michigan had not cancelled this years matchup the bruins would be ranked in the top 10. Hoping for an undefeated season. Go Bruins!

Finally glad you took a look at UCLA. Thanks for your videos.

I am a HUGE Ucla Bruins Fan! 💪🐻🏈 I believe in my Boys. I just want to see them head and Win the Rose Bowl 🌹 before they Bolt to the Big 10. LET GO BRUINS NATION 🏈👍

What a great recap!! Glad to find you and subscribed. See you at the Bowl tomorrow!

UCLA Alum here (Class of ‘75) As a longtime UCLA fan I have learned to temper my expectations when it comes to football. 5-0 is great, 8 straight wins is too but let’s see if they can win at least 2 out of 3 vs. the big boys this season: Utah, Oregon and USC. Victory vs. Washington was great but they let their foot off the gas and UW almost came back to force the game into OT. Can’t let that happen again. Love DTR - exciting and highly athletic QB who can do it all. I’m going to miss him after this season. Hope he gets drafted and has a successful career in the NFL. Despite his initial early lack of success I have always liked Chip Kelly and hope he is the HC for UCLA Football for a long time to come. But of course, that will depend on UCLA’s success on the field. Go Bruins!!

Besides the little editing mistakes, great video man. Would’ve thought you had 500k subs if I didn’t look

YESSSSSSSS!!! THANK U FOR MAKING THE VIDEO!!!

I miss the Josh Rosen hype train for sure! That team was very underrated!

The Pac 12; the only place a QB can throw for 600 yards and 7 touchdowns and still lose 64 to 62

What topic should I do next?

USC student here I went to the game against Washington on Friday with one of my friends, honestly really good game from you guys and you deserve to be ranked

Life long UCLA fan this is a a great video

I been saying it since day 1 when chip came here, these guys aren't his guys, give him 4 years of his guys and UCLA will become what Oregon was in the 2010s and here we are

Lifelong Bruin Fan. I hated DTR for the last 4 years, but now I am starting to turn the corner and hope/pray for a smackdown on USC!!! GOOO BRUINS!!! *insert 8 clap here*

Honestly any success ucla football has should be celebrated which is why I didn’t understand firing Jim Mora. I’ve been watching them since Maurice Jones drew was there but I will always remember Jim mora teams the most. They had the best linebacker group in america with Jack, Barr, and Kendrick

I'm a Fresno State fan and my family and I traveled to the Rose Bowl and the Coliseum last year. I gotta say I liked the experience of going to the UCLA game slightly more, mostly because it's in a way nicer area. BUTT after what USC did to my qb and my team I hope UCLA beats em and we might make that trip down to the rose bowl to watch what we hope is a good game.

Bama fan here to say Chip WILL get them where they Wana be.. IF the fans can act like.. well , actual fans and support them. Problem is people living within 5 miles can't even tell you who they're playing. This ain't 1964.

You do good work you should have more subscribers

You confused “Brentwood” with “Westwood” where UCLA is actually located. Also, Joshua Kelley was a running back, not tight end.

People overlook that Kelly gutted the entire roster he inherited from the Jim Mora era. While the second half of Mora’s era was poor, he still had fairly good recruiting classes. The problem was that his recruiting classes weren’t well balanced and the program struggled immensely in certain critical areas of the game. For instance, the offensive line was absolutely atrocious. It was so bad that it was putting Josh Rosen’s health at serious risk. When Kelly came in the perception was that he would build upon the talent from Mora and fix the problem areas. Kelly took a completely different approach however. He didn’t like the players from Mora’s teams and he decided to completely rebuild the program from the ground up in his own image. Any team that had as much turnover as UCLA did in Kelly’s first couple seasons would have been as bad or worse. His first two seasons were built entirely with underclassman. There was slight improvement in the second year but it really wasn’t until Kelly’s third season when the program started displaying noticeable improvement. Although they ended up with a losing record (3-4), all their losses came by less than a score and a combined 15 points. In Kelly’s fourth season, the offense exploded and the Bruins had a solid season (8-4) although they gave away a couple games. The problem was the defense was awful. For whatever reason, Kelly refused to fire his defensive coordinator Jerry Azzinaro. At the same time, he was entering the final season of his contract. While it was never publicly acknowledged most agree that UCLA conditioned Kelly’s contract extension on him finding a new defensive coordinator, and he did. This season bears the fruits of everything that happened since Kelly arrived in Westwood (not Brentwood, which across the 405 lol). It takes time to build a program from complete scratch but Kelly did it the right way and it’s now starting to pay off. One other aspect of Kelly’s tenure at UCLA is his ability to identify talent that fits his system and to develop that talent. UCLA now boasts an enormous wealth of NFL prospects despite Kelly’s underwhelming recruiting classes. This is a byproduct of his patience and willingness to allow players to develop. UCLA now has a foundation of success and the program is starting to click. The next step is for Kelly to take advantage of that success and show recruits how they could fit into his system.

People forget that chip got rid of a ton of players in that first year which made the team depleted. Before that turnover we had a ton of talent. Now that the turnaround is taking shape with transfers coming in to help support the development of the guys waiting in the wings. Chip turned this team around. Its just now playing out.

Love ucla man been hard to watch last few years But so far this is the most disciplined team by far everybody is doing their jobs playing true team football as a unit fluidly

Can you do a video about Stanford? What happen to them? They were good from 2009 - 2017.

love this vids man, but you really need an editor. A lot of repeat lines/sentences is kinda off for a channel of ur size

Say what you want about Chip Kelly I think he is a pure football mastermind. I hope ucla goes on a legit run this season. All the respect for the UCLA program for giving him the time to turn that program around.

Thank you you South Alabama.

The season isn't over yet 5 -0 doesn't get you into the CFP, lets not crown them just yet

After going 3-0 against the cupcakes, we have two wins against quality opponents. Utah is a very nice win.

I both liked this video and was frustrated by it. The content was very good but the drum background was at least as loud as the narrator making it hard to hear some of the words. Hopefully this is easy to fix. Go Bruins!

Not a surprise with a 5th yr QB. An elite RB and transfer WR.

This video aged very well! Go Bruins! 🙌

I am amazed at the ENORMOUS AND RAPID IMPROVEMENT in UCLA's defense. Gobsmacked, I am.

What do you think of the UCLA program and this years team?

Oregon fan here I never doubted chip Kelly we will see him in 2 weeks

I think a lot of old time ucla fans don’t want to say or think much to mess with the winning streak because they have a long history collapsing.

The IMPOSSIBLE RISE and inevitable HARD FALL of UCLA Football at Oregon.

I am extremely shocked and surprised by the Defense for sure, I was very worried about our secondary. I am beyond words with how good Jake Bobo has been and how he has helped bolster this recieving corp. I think DTR and Zack are Heismen contenders. Chip Kelley needs to stop making some very bad game decisions that put us in a bad situation, as briliant as the man is, he tends to do Chip Kelley things and make bad in game choices.

The team is older than the Chargers. 20 guys who have graduated. DTR will be 23 next month. He's in his fifth year. Has there ever been a Pac QB with so many starts? Bobo is 24. This is their year. The portal has been a huge asset. Question? Can they sustain success via the portal? You didn't discuss that. I have some concerns, but people should enjoy the ride....

I want that blue hat Mora had on at 3:36.

Wow! Some team we have here.

Jim Mora actually recruited Thompson-Robinson, not Chip.

We desperately need to stop the stupid penalties. Pre-snap and others... Drive Killers on offense Drive Extenders on defense

Also a Bob Toledo fan...

No matter how good UCLA is this year, I hope they never get another invite to the Holiday Bowl after what they did last year to San Diego and NC State by cancelling the game at the very last minute.

USC fan happy our rival is strong

About time y’all some respect on our name! 4s up! 🐻

That's right

Your video came out on the 5th and an ESPN article Written 11 hours ago as I type this came out with the title "The rise of USC and UCLA make college football relevant in L.A again.". Would laugh hard if a multi billion dollar company is ripping off youtubers. Or maybe it's you not sure. But there are a ton of similarities.

The UCLA Defense has to stop leaving hole that look like swiss cheese!

Lemme get on on Dana and the Cougs were losing home games to Tulane. Kansas is Kansas but to finish second in AAC and the head coach to boast it and now he looks imcompetent and Tillman Fertitta wants to keep him is a problem

I'm A USC fan however I must say UCLA is better than us right now.

UCLA playing Pitt in The Tony The Tiger Bowl

Correction: Brought stability and winning to Westwood. Not Brentwood.

Go Bruins!

Coaches need their own recruits and then time to develop them. If they inherit a few great players, they can do well in their first year or two. But it takes a few years to install a system and also develop young talent. I thought Chip would do well eventually, given how well he did at Oregon. He's innovative and smart.

Go bruins

They have played one decent team, Washington. Washington's biggest win came against a very overrated Michigan State team. And UCLA should be ashamed to known (deservedly earned) as Transfer Portal University. A top academic institution has stooped to gathering transfers to field a team. Truly sad, win or lose.

This was already coming except they got rid of Jim Mora. Bad mistake of the fast food eating A.D.

Chip Kelly put on a Y-Cross Clinic! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HWu2pjKtKNc.html

Impossible, nah that's why they hired him. Fight On ✌️

Why has it taken Chip so long to put a decent team together? Was he waiting for UCLA to spend 60 mill. On facilities?

After a big win Chip Kelly knows how to lose the next game to any team so we’ll see what happens against Utah.

2:18 *Westwood

I thought UCLA had a much storied history in Football

Are they going to beat UTAH ?

They play in the pac-12 that's like the ACC of the West

They haven't played anybody and almost got beat by South Alabama...Let's see how they fare against Utah...

I still believe they will not stop Oregon from running all day long.

I always cheer for UCLA even tho I’m a Michigan and B1G guy because I hate USC especially now with Lincoln Riley being there. But I think they go down this week to Utah. Utah is gonna repeat as PAC 12 champs

Westwood ucla is in westwood.

*Westwood

What's with the DTR defiant sneer? The kid plays for UCLA that has more outrageous looking women than any campus in the nation, his team is winning week in and week out and he's going to get NFL money before he's 22. So what's to be defiant about? Geezus kid, lighten tf up.

Their first 4 games were a fucking JOKE. beating washington was kind of surprise, but like all Pac 12 teams except UTAH, no one in the conference can play defense year in and year out. Washington's defense was embarrassing to watch. if UCLA can beat UTAH, i will give them the benefit of the doubt, but if UTAH shows up to play, it could be 45 to 17. The pac 12 is by far one of the weakest and worst conferences since USC dynasty ended. It is going to be hilarious watching UCLA and USC go 7-5 every year once they join the BIG TEN. USC is probably a top 15 team, UCLA is not a top 25 team until the beat UTAH and USC. UCLA's first four games, Bowling green, Alabama state, South Alabama and 0-5, then 0-4 colorado. UCLA will be lucking to finish the season 9-3

This Ucla team is special. Must beat Utah!!!

Fight on USC Trojans Fight On✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌

6-1 now. Spanked. Go Ducks!!

Watch us beat Utah later on today 🗣️‼️ y'all UCLA haters gonna eat your words U-C-L-A !!!!

Tried watching the video, but the background music was too annoying. Not good when you can barely hear the narration over the beats. Had to shut it off.

Every Bruin knows that UCLA has been in a funk since losing to Miami in 1998. All it took was one tackle and they could've won a National Championship and Heisman. Yeah - there's been some gutty wins in the past 24 years, but nothing like that 20-game win streak in 1997 and 1998. My hope is that the Bruins exorcise some demons against Oregon tomorrow. If the long arc of human history bends towards justice, then UCLA is overdue. Sure - Autzen is loud and the fans are right up on the field... but put Oregon behind the chains and down by a score or two and it can get really quiet real fast. This year's team is well-balanced on offense and defense. No one thought they'd beat Washington and Utah... but they did... and now they need to stay focused and finish the hat trick against Oregon.

Oregon definitely let everyone know that ucla ain't allll that

Nah. Not IMPOSSIBLE RISE. Not “IMPOSSIBLE RISE.” /

Splat ore 45 ucla 30 it wasn't close after 10 mins

Neuheisel was a great coach

Could it be the Lincoln Riley effect? USC has taken a monster step forward which has to be an inspiration for the Bruins. Wish we were staying in the Pac-12.

Their gonna lose against Utah

UCLA is not a good team 😂😂😂

Utah is going to smash these fools lol

Really bro, are you serious?! THEY HAVEN'T PLAYED ANYONE! Stop with this nonsense, we won't be hearing about them at the end of the year. Sick of people hyping up teams that haven't won a conference championship in the last 5 years!

Repent of your sins and trust in Jesus you will be saved love yall God bless

Chip Kelly was never going to be fired. He was never in the hot seat in those losing seasons. Why are they winning? Maturity. They finally got the seniors and graduate students through the transfer portal to run Chip’s pro style system.

UCLA 6-0

They haven’t played anyone that good i they then Washington

Next week they will be done.

Oh yeah it’s really impossible, ducks just blew them out of the water “ they ain’t all that”

It’s not an impossible rise. Ucla will lose this weekend. They have played absolute nobodies with the exception of Washington and beat them at home. That was a good win but the rest of the games were trash teams In which you beat southern Alabama by 1 point at home! Oregon, Utah and Washington state if they play them are going to throttle ucla. I do think ucla will beat USC though

Go bruins
