The UCLA Bruins are undefeated at 3-0 after they beat South Alabama this Saturday, but the fan base seems to be nonexistent when it comes to support.
The UCLA Bruins defeated the South Alabama Jaguars 32-31 on Saturday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, with a last-minute field goal, but even the excitement of a win couldn’t hide the fact that fans weren’t there to celebrate.
Huge turnout from UCLA fans for today’s game against South Alabama. Lincoln Riley should send this to every recruit considering the Bruins. pic.twitter.com/zD3tvde9c1

Former UCLA and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman called the emptiness of Rose Bowl Stadium “embarrassing” and also took a shot at how poorly the team played on Saturday.
“This is an embarrassment but we couldn’t fill the Rose Bowl in 1988 when we were the #1 team in the country. Anyone else at UCLA think it’s time for an on-campus 30,000 seat stadium? Of course, if we can’t play better than we did today, it would be half-empty too.”

UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson completed 20 of 30 passes for 263 yards and three touchdowns.
The Bruins are 3-0 this season, but they have yet to face a ranked opponent and won’t do so until they face No. 14 Utah next month.
