Former Dallas Cowboys and UCLA quarterback Troy Aikman showed up to watch Saturday's college football game between LSU and UCLA. 

Aikman was shown walking into the stadium wearing grey pants, a black long-sleeved shirt, and a blue baseball cap with the UCLA logo on the front. 

From 1987-88, Aikman played quarterback at UCLA after starting his college career at Oklahoma. 

The Dallas Cowboys made Aikman the No. 1 overall pick in the 1989 NFL Draft. Aikman won three Super Bowls as the Cowboys quarterback.
