Texas A&M: Sept. 2 @ UCLA

UCLA entered last season with sky-high expectations. They were preseason no. 16 in the AP poll, but finished 4-8 on the season. Bruins’ sophomore quarterback Josh Rosen got injured and missed the final six games of the season, and they went 1-5 without him.

As a freshman, Rosen threw for 3,670 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions, while completing 60.0 percent of his passes. And as a freshman in 2016, Rosen threw for 10 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in just six games.

These two teams met in the season opener last season in College Station, Tex. UCLA rallied to score 15 points in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter, but the Aggies prevailed in overtime and won 31-24.
