Well, I am writing this article as a victim of changing the channel too early. I was watching this game in the first half before changing the channel because I thought this game was over from the start.
Little did I know, and I’m sure many of you, that UCLA would come back from a 34 point deficit to defeat the Aggies of Texas A&M. The last play was a thing of beauty, as Rosen and the Bruins fake spiked with 48 seconds left to tie, and eventually go up in the fourth quarter.

Josh Rosen Heisman?
Josh Rosen went full beast mode, and potentially landed himself in the Heisman race as a dark horse. Rosen finished with 491 yards passing and 4 touchdowns. The dude is a stud and the Pac-12 may have another force alongside USC in the South Division.
When I was watching, UCLA looked miserable and was getting throttled. I started watching West Virginia and Virginia Tech and didn’t look back. I wish I would have because Rosen is the real deal. Whether he believes in school or not, he won’t be in it for very long anyways. If you missed the game for the same reasons that I did, Will Grier’s wife is definitely a highlight.
Side note: I applaud the NCAA for playing some large scale games on the Sunday before the NFL starts. This is a great marketing tactic and shouldn’t be overlooked because the athletes are still not being paid.
