UCLA Football: College Football Expert Believes UCLA's Season Is Hard to Gauge

How far can the Bruins go in 2023?

We're a month away from the start of the 2023 season, Bruin fans. 2023 will be a much anticipated season as it will be their last season in the Pac-12, and try to make a long-lasting impression in the conference. 

The Bruins are looking for a great season; however, they will look different with many of their veterans no longer on the team. Many new faces with grace a UCLA helmet, and we'll see if they can deliver when needed. 

Because of this uncertainty, many think UCLA's 2023 season will be similar to their 2022 season or a little worse, including college football expert Josh Pate. 

In his latest episode, Pate said he couldn't get a good read on the Bruins, which is why he wouldn't be surprised if they meet expectations or fall short of expectations. 

“UCLA smacked dabbed in the middle between the top 5 or 6 that have roughly comparable odds to win the onference or at least have a shot to,"

"I think it could be a sneaky good team, I also think they could be a victim of being a pretty good and not really good becuase the pretty good , really good gap is the difference between 9-3 and 6-6 oput there this year."

The Bruins have the talent to compete for a shot at the Pac-12 championship, or they could be a middle-of-the-pack team. There are a lot of question marks surrounding the Bruins, including their quarterback position. 

Will one of the transfers take over to start the season, or will the true freshman get the start right away? 

However, that's the tip of the iceberg. Will the defense improve under new defensive coordinator D'Antonon Lynn, will the wide receivers step up, and how will the run game look? All these are valid questions and big concerns for the BruinsWe'llll see how it all plays out soon.
