The Aggies started their 2016 in the win column with an upset victory over Josh Rosen and the UCLA Bruins. Rosen threw three interceptions, including two by Aggies cornerback Justin Evans, in what was a forgettable start to his sophomore season.

The Aggies defense sacked Rosen fives time.

Quarterback Trevor Knight, on the other hand, was spectacular for the Texas A&M Aggies in his debut. Knight, a graduate transfer from Oklahoma, threw one passing touchdown and ran for two touchdowns in the season opener.

The Aggies rushed for 203 yards and three touchdowns on the day. Running back Trayveon Williams led the way with 94 rushing yards for the Aggies.
