Behind a huge game on the ground from Trayveon Williams, Texas A&M obliterated UCLA in the Rose Bowl for both teams’ season opener on Sunday night … but then Josh Rosen led a comeback for the ages. Here are three takeaways from an incredible comeback from UCLA on Sunday night.

Last year’s meeting between the Texas A&M Aggies and UCLA Bruins may not have been the prettiest affair in the world, but it was certainly one of college football’s best games of the opening weekend.

This year’s meeting was the complete opposite. It was ugly, but much more one-sided than the overtime thriller in College Station last season. The Aggies ran for 286 yards in the first half against the Bruins on Sunday night in the season opener for both teams in the Rose Bowl.

But then, Josh Rosen and the Bruins came all the way back. ALL the way back.

The game was over before the break, as the Aggies scored 31 unanswered points in the first half after going down 3-0 early and took a 38-10 lead into halftime. Texas A&M dominated both sides of the ball, especially up front. It was just one performance, but the Aggies showed that missing Myles Garrett moving forward isn’t as bad as many expected it to be.

On the offensive side of things, A&M manhandled UCLA’s front four all night long and provided the gaping holes for the Aggie rushing attack to trounce the Bruin defense from the first to the final whistle on Sunday night.

And then, things changed. Oh boy, did things change.

Here are three takeaways from Texas A&M’s blowout win over UCLA that wasn’t.
