The narrow win for Texas A&M adverted a potential apocalyptic opening week for the SEC West, with Arkansas sneaking past Louisiana Tech by just a point, LSU falling to Wisconsin and South Alabama topping Mississippi State. On the Bruins’ overtime possession, they stalled out just outside the 5 yard line with a desperation throw under pressure by Rosen on getting deflected to the turf. The Bruins scored on a long TD pass and converted the two-point conversion to tie it up.
Redshirt junior Eddie Vanderdoes, in his first game since tearing his ACL against Virginia last season, stopped the Aggies twice at the one yard line. The Running Rebels defense tested the Bruins previous year in Las Vegas, before UCLA ran away with the game 37-3.
UCLA QB Josh Rosen, who said earlier this he didn’t think Kyle Field would provide much of a home field advantage, had his ups and downs.
Today’s UCLA Bruins vs Texas A&M Aggies college football game will have a start time schedule of 3:30 eastern time and airs on TV channel CBS. He completed 26 of 44 passes for 343 yards, 1 TD and three picks. He picked up his play late, but the Aggies held on. This all came after he made a clutch interception for Texas A&M. RB Keith Ford had 14 carries for 65 yards and a TD. He also added 31 yards and two TDs on the ground.

The Aggies looked to have this one wrapped up when they led by 15 in the fourth quarter after using two third-quarter touchdowns.
