WATCH: UCLA coach Bob Chesney goes viral with epic ‘burn the f–king boats’ speech before shocking Oregon

UCLA head coach Bob Chesney delivered a pregame address to his players in the tunnel before Saturday's 17-15 win over Oregon, invoking the historical act of destroying ships to signal that retreat was impossible. The footage of Chesney putting on sunglasses and leading the team onto the field has since spread widely online, following a performance in which the Bruins dominated possession for nearly 40 minutes and forced seven turnovers to end a 22-year road losing streak against the Ducks.

Running back Wayne Knight contributed 103 rushing yards and a touchdown in the victory, but the win came at a significant cost when starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava suffered a knee injury that may end his season. Oregon defensive end Bear Alexander was observed punching toward Iamaleava during the play, yet Ducks coach Dan Lanning stated that Alexander would not face a suspension for the incident.

Chesney acknowledged the team's mistakes, including turnovers and a blocked field goal, while noting that the loss of Iamaleava could impact the Bruins' College Football Playoff hopes.
