  Chip Kelly’s best Oregon teams were not only those with prolific offenses and stout defenses, but they also boasted consistent special teams units.
  Kelly’s first year at UCLA fell short of that standard.
  After Oregon didn’t allow a single punt or kick return for a touchdown during Kelly’s four-year tenure, the Bruins allowed two punt returns for touchdowns last year. Costly special teams penalties turned makeable field goals into missed long shots, damaging kicker J.J. Mo
