UCLA Football: How Chip Kelly Feels About LA's Injury Fortunes

UCLA Bruins head coach Chip Kelly really doesn't like to talk about injuries. As his team gets ready to face off against the Utah Utes this weekend in Salt Lake City, the Bruins seem to have some real injury luck.

On the other hand, Utah has been dealing with all sorts of injuries across their roster, and it remains to be seen who will play in the game. But Kelly has been shy about talking about injuries on either side; he wants to make sure everything remains right for his team.

Kelly can be described as a "little stitious" when it comes to talking about the health of his UCLA program."

Usually, head coaches don't mind talking about things like this, but Kelly doesn't want to project anything going forward.

“It can happen at any time. To maybe stay away from that and the football gods of saying ‘Hey, we’re healthy, we’re good to go’ and then all of a sudden 3 kids get hurt in today’s training session,” said Kelly. “It’s just the nature of the sport we play. I think at all times during the course of a season, your depth is going to be tested. Some times it’s early, sometimes it’s late. I don’t think anybody has a crystal ball on that.”

Both teams' depth will be on display in this game, but Kelly knows that Utah is very talented from top to bottom. It won't be an easy game for the Bruins, even if some of the Utes' best guys don't play.

UCLA has a chance to knock off one of the best teams in the country on the road, and if they can, everything changes for them. They would go from a team making noise to a potential conference champion contender.

We are going to learn a lot about what this UCLA team is made of this weekend. This is their chance to do something special, so they can't take it for granted whatsoever.
