How to Watch: CBS

Last season Josh Rosen led UCLA to an 8-5 season as a true freshman. The Bruins also have eight returning starters on the defensive side of the ball. That should help them shore up their leaky run defense. Unfortunately, the Bruins lost their top running back, Paul Perkins, and four of their top five pass catchers.

This season Trevor Knight will lead the Aggie offense from the quarterback spot. Fellow Oklahoma transfer Keith Ford looks to replace the departed Tra Carson at running back. The offensive line also has some rebuilding to do. The major positive is the receiving corps, which is one of the deepest and most talented in the entire country. On defense the Aggies have an exceptionally talented front four, great safeties, and an improving linebacker corps.

Prediction: This one really depends primarily on how Trevor Knight plays, as does the A&M season as a whole. I think he plays well enough to earn an Aggie win.
