UCLA football is 7-0 and ranked No. 7, marking their best start since 2005. Despite the success, attendance at the Rose Bowl has been low, with an average of just over 33,000 fans per game. Head coach Bob Chesney noted a lack of student presence during a recent game against Michigan State, where attendance peaked at 33,757. The team has made efforts to increase turnout, including providing free tickets for students. The next home game is scheduled against Nevada on October 31, followed by two more home games, including a rivalry match against USC.
