Chow extension approved

UCLA offensive coordinator Norm Chow’s two-year contract extension was approved by the UC Regents last week, and the athletic department was notified by email late Monday afternoon.

The agreement was made in late-July after Chow had flirtations to return to USC after Lane Kiffin was hired.

UCLA ranks 111th in the country in total offens at 300 yards per game, 30th in rushing and 117th in passing. Last season, when the Bruins went 7-6 and won the EagleBank Bowl, they ranked 88th in total offense and 94th in scoring offense.
