UCLA Spring Game 2022 Preview
UCLA head coach Chip Kelly has key offensive players back to work with in 2022 after an 8-4 season in 2021, but he isn’t out to show off what the Bruins have on Saturday. The Bruins will practice — not even scrimmage — at on-campus Drake Stadium instead of the Rose Bowl.
“Exposure is who watches it,” Kelly said via the Los Angeles Times, “so I don’t know how many people are watching a spring game, so I couldn’t tell you yea or nay on that.”
Kelly sees an advantage to keeping things a practice versus a game and Saturday.
“Sometimes if you just scrimmage, and the ball doesn’t get to the red zone,” Kelly said viad the Los Angeles Times, “then you’re not getting red-zone [work], so we’ll specifically move the ball situationally to different spots on the field and then try to get in some different situations whether it be third down — all the things in football that are really the difference between winning and losing, we’ve been emphasizing through the whole spring, so it’s just an opportunity for us to do that.”
Key players back include quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who threw for 2,409 yards and 21 touchdowns last year. The dual-threat quarterback also rushed for 609 yards and nine touchdowns.
“The experience factor is something you can’t teach,” Kelly said of Thompson-Robinson via the Los Angeles Daily News. “To have a quarterback, really a leader, to be experienced coming back in year five is a really good boost for us.”

Bruins running back Zach Charbonnet returns after a strong 2021 season. Charbonnet rushed for 1,137 yards and 13 touchdowns last year.
He listed on-field improvement, finishing his degree, and winning a Pac-12 Conference title as reasons for returning.
“That’s something this team has been dreaming about,” Charbonnet said of a Pac-12 title during an April 2 press conference. “That’s something I wanted to come back and be a part of too, this year.”
UCLA meanwhile needs to find new receivers to step up in place of its top performers leaving for the NFL Draft or transfer portal. Tight end Michael Ezeike, and receivers Kam Brown, Kazmeir Allen, and Jake Bobo could fill those roles.
Defensively, the Bruins have key transfers in cornerback Azizi Hearn from Wyoming and linebacker Darius Muasau from Hawaii. Defensive ends Gabriel and Grayson Murphy, twin transfers from North Texas, could spark the Bruins defense, too.
