Defensive Secondary — The coaching staff has been playing underclassmen in the secondary ever since Jim Mora arrived, and it will start to pay off as they have gained a lot of experience the past couple of seasons. Ishmael Adams is one of the most exciting players in football; Randall Goforth returns from injury and is a top safety; and there will be plenty of talent around them.

Myles Jack — Myles Jack is one of the best players in football, and has proven that he can excel on both sides of the ball. He is at his best at linebacker, where he is strong enough to make plays against the run, but fast enough to keep up with running backs and receivers on the outside. He should be a candidate for postseason awards, and will continue the team’s recent string of success at linebacker.

Talented Skill Players — Even though the team is bringing on a new quarterback, there are plenty of capable players around whoever gets the starting position. Paul Perkins is an elite running back, and Thomas Duarte, Devin Fuller and Jordan Payton are a great group of receivers who can put up big numbers.

Tom Bradley — Bradley oversaw some dominant defenses at Penn State, and inherits an extremely talented and deep UCLA squad. There is pro potential at every level, and Bradley will surely get the most out of them. He is arguably one of the brightest defensive coaches in the country, and will want to prove himself once again.

Loaded Pac-12 — The Pac-12 is finally starting to get the respect it deserves, and will have its fair share of teams competing for a playoff spot. The Bruins won’t play Oregon this year, but get both Arizona schools, Stanford and will finish with USC, a game which should have playoff implications. This means a lot of big games, and plenty of national exposure for the program.
