Orange County Register reporter James H. Williams talks with former UCLA analyst Darrin Chiaverini.

Chiaverini worked on Chip Kelly’s staff as early as the spring before taking the head coaching job at Chaffey College.

Chiaverini previously played and coached at Colorado before starting his NFL career with the Cleveland Browns. He shares his thoughts on Ethan Garbers’ start against Stanford, how the defense has looked under first-year defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn and much more.

The Bruins will wear 1954-inspired powder blue throwback jerseys that include two white stripes around both shoulders. In 1954, UCLA finished the season ranked first in the coaches’ poll and shared a claim to the national championship. UCLA finished second behind Ohio State in the AP Poll.
