UCLA Football Seeks New Head Coach After Winless 0-3 Start, Defensive Struggles

Boston College football coach Bill O'Brien praised California's true freshman quarterback Jaron Keawe-Sagapolutele for his impressive size, smart play, and ability to execute off-schedule plays, highlighting his strong performances early in the 2025 season despite a recent slump. Sagapolutele, who has shown significant potential with 988 passing yards and six touchdowns through four games, will face his first ACC opponent when California meets Boston College. Meanwhile, UCLA football is facing turmoil after a poor start to the 2025 season, including a coaching change following an 0-3 record and a humiliating loss to New Mexico. The Bruins' offensive production has declined dramatically over the past three seasons, dropping from 39.2 points per game in 2022 to just 14.3 points per game through the first three games of 2025, signaling a broad program decline across both offense and defense. Additionally, coverage issues continue to plague USC's secondary, drawing critical analysis from sports media, as the team struggles defensively this season.
