Hawaii vs UCLA Preview
This season kicks off Chip Kelly’s fourth year with the Bruins. He has amassed a 10-21 record so far in three seasons at UCLA, but his team showed the most promise in a shortened 2020 campaign. The Bruins’ offensive SP+, went up from 71st in 2019 to 23rd last year, and Kelly is hoping to see yet another jump this season.
The Bruins will be led by quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who is expected to have a monster year. In just five appearances last season, the Bruins QB went 90-138 for 1,120 yards, 12 touchdowns and four interceptions. He also had 306 yards on the ground to go with three rushing scores, so the dual-threat signal-caller could be about to have himself a year, particularly considering he’ll be playing behind five returning starters on the offensive line.
The vibe around UCLA this year just feels different than in recent seasons, according to players. “It’s like a chip on our shoulder that we got to carry around with us,” Bruins cornerback Mo Osling III said, per the L.A. Times. “So we’re coming into the season hot.”
On the other side, the Rainbow Warriors finished their 2020 season with a 5-4 overall record. Quarterback Chevan Cordero will lead the way again for Hawaii. Cordero went 195-313 for 2,083 yards and 14 touchdowns. Another dual-threat, he was the Rainbow Warriors’ leading rusher last season with 483 yards and seven touchdowns.
Hawaii will have a new offensive coordinator after G.J. Kinne left for UCF, and Hawaii head coach Todd Graham’s son Bo will take over as the team’s new OC.
Graham says he’s pleased with the work put in by his team this offseason, and he noted heading into this game that he feels good about where his team is after training camp. “I think our guys worked really hard,” Graham said, per Yahoo Sports. “We’ve had a good camp. We’re going into the last week of preparation and we feel good about where we’re at.”
Hawaii is 0-3 all-time against UCLA, so the Rainbow Warriors are looking to change that, but they’ll need their defense to show up in a big way against Thompson-Robinson. Hawaii was downright bad at defending against the run, surrendering 212 rushing yards per game and 5.0 yards per carry last season. They’ll need to tighten up here if they want a chance to score a victory.
