Everything Bob Chesney said Tuesday ahead of UCLA's home opener against San Diego State
Summary
-
Bob Chesney said UCLA intentionally rotated three guards against Cal and wants to develop a fourth option rather than settle on two, using rotation to build experienced offensive-line depth.
-
Chesney described San Diego State's rushing offense as a gap-scheme attack built around double teams, insert and kickout blocks, with an additional Wildcat package operated by a receiver who previously played quarterback.
-
Chesney said preparing UCLA for San Diego State's aggressive special teams, including fake kicks and deceptive formations, has consumed substantial practice time this week.
-
Chesney said San Diego State mixes edge and interior pressure that can leave Cover 0 opportunities with quarters and Cover 3 looks, making protection adjustments and recognition a UCLA preparation priority.
-
Chesney attributed Cal's late-first-half touchdown to UCLA's failed defensive package change, poor communication and an unsuccessful timeout attempt, and said personnel substitution procedures still need work.
