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.
