‘Little Embarrassing’ — Troy Aikman Questions UCLA Fans’ Commitment Despite Bruins…

Troy · UCLA

Amid a college football season that has seen upsets, comebacks, and thrilling endings, UCLA’s resurgence ranks among the best. Despite a season-ending injury to starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava, the Bruins continue to play well.

For the first time in years, UCLA football eclipsed the exploits of its crosstown rival: USC. Everything continues to trend upward for the program.

However, Troy Aikman, a Bruins legend, aired his grievance about one aspect of UCLA's success. The Bruins have already reached the eight-win mark, matching a level they last achieved in 2023.

More importantly, they still have a chance to secure their first double-digit-win season since 2014. "So when you have a stadium at the Rose Bowl that holds over 100,000, 25,000, it may as well be empty as opposed to some other stadiums that maybe hold 40,000."
