UCLA QB Iamaleava diving 'into that playbook' made by new OC Kennedy

The UCLA Bruins football team participated in media day on Wednesday and three of the Bruins' best players were interviewed by Mike Hall on the Big Ten Network.

>Among those players was starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava, the junior who transferred to Westwood from Tennessee last summer.

>Hall started the interview by asking each player about what feels different at UCLA this season under Bob Chesney compared to a year ago with DeShaun Foster. Hall then questioned Iamaleava about the differences and similarities between each head coach's offensive philosophies, which shifted with the hiring of new offensive coordinator Dean Kennedy.

>"Yeah, a little similar. There's going to be different changes with the formations, shifts and motions. I think it's a lot similar to last year, just different words," Iamaleava explained. "I've continued to dive into that playbook and get comfortable with it. It's been fun under coach Kennedy and coach Ches."

>After the Bruins scored more than 20 points in only five games last season, the pairing of Chesney and Kennedy has plenty of room to improve the offense entering a new campaign.
