The offense goes as I go,” Ethan Garbers said Wednesday.

It’s a statement UCLA football offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy always

reminds his starting quarterback of leading up to the 2024 season, which begins Saturday at Hawaii.

If Garbers’ confidence is any indication of how the Bruins offense will do in 2024, they will go far. When asked if leading

the Bruins to a win in the L.A. Bowl last December added to his confidence, Garbers said he wasn’t lacking any to begin with.

“I was already confident before that,” Garbers said Wednesday. “I trusted in my abilities, and confidence was not lacking at all.”

That win over Boise State showed the beginnings of what Garbers believes UCLA’s offense will be in 2024 — explosive.
