UCLA makes last-minute turnaround against Texas A&M, winning 45-44

This post was updated Sept. 3 at 10:59 p.m. Jedd Fisch calls himself a Patriots fan, but when the first-year offensive coordinator looked up at the scoreboard that showed UCLA football trailing Texas A&M by 34 points, he couldn’t even dream of a Super Bowl-like comeback – not when the Bruins were down by almost twice as much as New England was against the Atlanta Falcons.

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.

Coach Jim Mora is still looking to solidify his starting offensive line, junior quarterback Josh Rosen is returning from a shoulder injury that knocked him out for the latter half of last season and the Bruins’ running back brigade is virtually unchanged from the group that finished near dead-last in yards on the ground per game in 2016.

UCLA’s depth chart has a mix of experienced veterans and new faces

Last season showed UCLA football why depth is important. In back-to-back games at the start of October, the Bruins lost then-redshirt sophomore starting right tackle Kolton Miller and then-sophomore starting quarterback Josh Rosen to season-ending surgeries. Read more...
