UCLA trolled for massive celebration after last-second win over South Alabama
Published:
UCLA improved to 3-0 on the season Saturday with a home win over visiting South Alabama at the Rose Bowl .
It was far from easy, however. The bruins needed a 24-yard field goal on the final play of the game from Nicholas Barr-Mira to escape with the 32-31 win.
After the game, UCLA’s players launched into a wild celebration that would have been better suited for actually winning a Rose Bowl as opposed to escaping with a 1-point victory over a visiting team from the Sun Belt Conference.

Maybe it was relief as much as it was celebration?
Either way, given the circumstances surrounding the victory, it was no surprise to see the Bruins catch a bit of heat for their post-game celebration:
Uhhhhhhhmmmmm…ok
