New-look UCLA welcomes Coastal Carolina to the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, Calif., on Saturday for the 2023 season opener and first-ever meeting between the programs. UCLA kicks off its final campaign as a member of the Pac-12 Conference, the league to which it has belonged since 1928. The Bruins were 9-4 a season ago, with the nine wins the program's most under head coach Chip Kelly, who is entering his sixth season with the Bruins. It was the program's best record since going 10-3 in 2014. After DTR left UCLA for the Browns in the NFL Draft, the Bruins will not be quite as dynamic as they were last year. Coastal has some weapons, Grayson McCall, the only three-time Sun Belt Player of the Year honoree will start for the Chanticleers. McCall claimed his third honor last year after throwing for 2,700 yards with 24 touchdowns and just two interceptions. Let's roll with Coastal to keep this one closer than expected.
