UCLA vs. Colorado: Chip Kelly's Bruins team drops to 0-4

Welp, this start for Chip Kelly is certainly not ideal. With Colorado's victory over the UCLA Bruins (38-16), Kelly's team dropped to an early-season 0-4 and a winless win for the month of September.

That was not exactly the case for UCLA since the beginning of this game. The Bruins went to the locker room with the Buffs 14-13, but in the third quarter, the Colorado offense was too strong for UCLA's defense. Colorado scored two unanswered touchdowns to mark the start of the fourth period (28-16) and added fourth to finish the race.

The Buffs attack had a huge boost from running back Colorado Laviska Shenault Jr., who scored twice tonight, a rush and a TD reception. He also had 144 yards in total.

CU quarterback Steven Montez added 318 total yards and two touchdowns for the Buffs mark effort.

With this loss, Kelly plans to have so many losses in four years in Oregon – only seven years this year at UCLA. Also!

To be fair, the Bruins have not been on the offensive all night. Bruins quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson threw a touchdown pass and running back Joshua Kelley added 124 yards.

But when you give up 482 yards and let Colorado hold the ball for 34 minutes, it's hard to find that kind of attacking terrain, no matter how productive the unit is.

As for the future of UCLA and Kelly's team, it's easy. The Bruins will have Washington at home next week, followed by a roadtrip to Cal before two home games against Arizona and Utah to end the month of October. In November, UCLA gets Oregon, USC and Stanford. Yeesh. Maybe a long season, Bruins fans.

As for Kelly, it does not really fall on him in the first year – remember, this Bruins team recorded a 6-7 record last year, and it 's not the same. is certainly not the only new head coach to have trouble (hello, Scott Frost and Willie Taggart!). 2018 was not supposed to be Kelly's mulligan year, but given the slow start to the year and the prospects ahead, it may well be.

Meanwhile, you can leave your case in Colorado, which goes to 4-0 after the dominant performance. The Buffs are playing big Pac-12 South matches against Arizona State, USC and Utah, still on the program for this season.
