A sparse crowd dotted the Rose Bowl’s stands while the Bruins’ new roster practiced on the gridiron Saturday afternoon.
It was UCLA football’s spring showcase, framed as a sneak peek into the 2025 season – one that will be reshaped following offseason exits to graduation, the transfer portal and the NFL.
