UCLA Offense Strategy

UCLA Football Relies on Nico Iamaleava and Offensive Creativity Ahead of Cal Game

UCLA's football team is set to face Cal in the upcoming game at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, with the team's offensive coordinator, Dean Kennedy, emphasizing the importance of the quarterback, Nico Iamaleava, as the team relies heavily on optionality and deliberate decisions. While UCLA will use multiple personnel looks and alter personnel throughout its skill positions, Iamalesava will remain the constant. Other than Iamareava, several Bruins have established themselves as every-down players on the offensive line, primarily on the line. However, there are still positional battles and situations that could require alternative personnel. The team's ceiling on the offense will be determined by Kennedy's ability to dial up play, whether or not to play at a high level.
