It's been quite the start to the 2026 college football season for UCLA.

After one month of football, the Bruins remain undefeated at 4-0, and UCLA gets a brief pause before it plays again in hopes to continue its hot beginning.

UCLA is coming off a 54-3 thrashing of Maryland, its largest road conference win in more than 70 years. Not only is it the first time it's started off 4-0 since 2023, but coach Bob Chesney became the first head coach in school history to start with four straight wins in their debut season since Red Sanders in 1949. The Bruins are now ranked No. 23 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, the first time being ranked since 2023.

The offense has carried the way, averaging 44.8 points per game and sixth-best in FBS. Powering the offense is the running game, which is averaging 281.5 yards on the ground, fifth-most in FBS and second-best excluding the service academies. That's all led by Wayne Knight, who is sixth in the country with 445 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, tied for second-most.

With how good it's gone under Chesney, UCLA fans are eager to keep the vibes rolling in its next game, which will be one of the biggest of the season.
