UCLA football coach Bob Chesney has emphasized the importance of focusing on performance rather than rankings as his team prepares for a game against No. 13 Oregon. The Bruins, currently ranked No. 21 with a record of 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the Big Ten, will face Oregon at Autzen Stadium on Saturday. This matchup serves as a rematch for Chesney and several players who previously lost to the Ducks in the College Football Playoff last December. Chesney noted that the Bruins have improved significantly since that loss, particularly in terms of athleticism and depth. Defensive back Derrick Barksdale, a transfer from James Madison, highlighted the enhanced speed and skill of the Bruins compared to their previous team. The Bruins boast one of the best rushing offenses in the nation, averaging 281.5 yards per game. Chesney's coaching staff has been preparing the team for the challenges posed by Oregon's offense, which features both quarterback Dante Moore and backup Dylan Raiola. The Bruins aim to address the weaknesses they exhibited in their last encounter with the Ducks and continue their climb in the national rankings.
