UCLA running back Kahlil Bell was asked Monday about the Tennessee defense he will face on Labor Day:

"They're good. Athletic. Probably one of the best defenses we'll face all year. Probably one of the best defenses I'll see in my career here.

"We have a challenge to do the things we want to do."

"They're just really athletic. The SEC, a lot of people say it's a defensive conference, and they've got a lot of defensive guys... Good backers and safeties not afraid to come up and hit."
