The UCLA Bruins are sporting a 4-0 record as they currently take on the ranked Washington Huskies.
Despite both teams being a combined 8-0, fans just will not show up to the Rose Bowl Stadium and support the team. Here is how it is looking on Friday night:

Troy Aikman, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and former UCLA standout, ripped the Bruins’ attendance for the team’s game against South Alabama almost two weeks ago.
“This is an embarrassment but we couldn’t fill the Rose Bowl in 1988 when we were the #1 team in the country,” Aikman tweeted. “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.”

The excuse for the earlier games was the heat. This is a night game, so that excuse just got thrown out of the window.
