LOS ANGELES — DeShaun Foster has expressed confidence that his UCLA football team is ready for his first game as head coach when the Bruins play at Hawai’i on Aug. 31.
“We could play right now,” Foster said Wednesday. “We’re not too far off but you want all your days. Ten days is a lot of days, there’s still a little bit of stuff we can implement. … If we had to play today I wouldn’t shy away from it.”
While Hawai’i is seen as a paradise for some, Foster and the Bruins will treat the season opener as a business trip.
