UCLA statement win over Minnesota leads to statement celebration by Bob Chesney Sr.

UCLA beat Minnesota 34-20 to reach 9-0 for the first time since 1998, strengthening the Bruins’ standing as one of college football’s leading teams this season. After the win, coach Bob Chesney’s father, Bob Chesney Sr., celebrated with players in the visitors’ locker room.

Chesney Sr. is a volunteer assistant working with UCLA’s defensive line, and his lively celebration echoed his son’s energetic coaching style. UCLA’s defence has recorded 20 sacks and leads the nation with 26 takeaways: 16 interceptions and 10 fumble recoveries. Against Minnesota, the Bruins forced two turnovers; a late interception helped them run down the clock before a 36-yard field goal settled the score.
