Five Things: UCLA vs. Texas A&M
UCLA football completed the largest comeback in program history Sunday night in its 45-44 win over Texas A&M. Junior quarterback Josh Rosen led the comeback by going 35-for-59 for 491 yards and four touchdowns, with each of those coming in the fourth quarter. Here are five takeaways we had from UCLA’s season opener: 1. The […]
Defense adjusts after woeful first half to help spur comeback
It didn’t take a genius to know it was time for a change. The UCLA defense had been gashed for 38 points and 286 rushing yards in the first half of Sunday’s season-opener against Texas A&M.

Josh Rosen makes comeback at upcoming season opener against Texas A&M
Last year’s season-opening 31-24 loss to Texas A&M was a rude awakening for Josh Rosen. The then-sophomore quarterback threw three interceptions and was sacked five times and hurried another 23 as the Aggies’ pair of elite defensive ends, Myles Garrett and Daeshon Hall, created pressure play after play. Rosen will get another crack at the […]
