PASADENA — UCLA did not receive a single vote in the latest AP Top 25 poll on Sunday, despite outscoring opponents 90-24 through two games. It’s been five years since the Bruins have exceeded the 90-point mark through their first two games. Their defense has allowed zero points in both second halves.
“I don’t think you can look past anybody,” head coach Chip Kelly said postgame Saturday. “You really got to keep your focus on what it is and savor it. It’s a unique sport. You prepare so long for just 12 opportunities.” The Week 2 matchup was set to feature Michigan, but the Wolverines backed out of a home-and-home for this year and next year, leaving UCLA without an opportunity to prove itself on a national stage early in the season.But the Bruins can only adjust to what is in front of them. Against Alabama State on Saturday, running back Zach Charbonnet did not play at all and quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson was pulled in the middle of the second quarter.
Tight end Hudson Habermahl scored his first career touchdown on a 25-yard catch-and-run right down the middle of the field off a pass by Thompson-Robinson. “This is a game of adversity,” Kelly said of Yankoff and Latu. “And for both of those guys, they have worked so hard at overcoming some of the adverse situations that they have been in. I’m really proud of them.”
Offensive lineman Jon Gaines, a self-described “old guy” in his fifth season, noted the work his teammates put in during practice.
