Quick Summary

Bob Chesney, UCLA’s head football coach, criticized the sparse attendance during his team's 8-0 victory against Nevada at the Rose Bowl. He remarked that there was a lack of crowd noise, despite the Bruins’ strong defensive performance. The game took place on Halloween, which may have contributed to lower student turnout, and although tickets were free for students this season, the stadium remained far from full. Chesney emphasized that improvement is ongoing and expressed that no one on his team or coaching staff feels satisfied with their current standing after any win.

Story summary

On October 31, No. 7 UCLA improved their record to an unbeaten 8-0 with a dominant 27-0 victory over Nevada at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. The Bruins' defense, particularly under defensive coordinator Colin Hitschler, played a crucial role by intercepting four passes and holding Nevada to just 176 yards of offense, marking UCLA's first shutout since 2015 and their first home shutout since beating Oregon in 2007. Despite the impressive performance, head coach Bob Chesney expressed disappointment about the lackluster attendance at the Rose Bowl during postgame interviews on November 1.
