UCLA Football: 3 reasons the Bruins will defeat Texas A&M

3. Nick Starkel can’t keep pace with Josh Rosen

One of the worst games of Josh Rosen’s career came against Texas A&M last year. He threw only one touchdown and three interceptions against the Aggies. With Texas A&M experiencing some losses in the secondary, Rosen can take advantage.

Nick Starkel has a lot of pressure on his shoulders. He does have All-American wide receiver Christian Kirk and Oklahoma transfer running back Keith Ford to give the ball to. However, Rosen has a receiving corps with some weapons also.

Redshirt senior recevier Darren Andrews leads the way for UCLA’s skill position players. The receiving corps also features guys like redshirt junior Jordan Lasley and redshirt senior Eldridge Massington.

UCLA and Texas A&M both have a lot of talent on offense. The biggest difference is that the Bruins have an NFL level quarterback and the Aggies have a former three-star recruit and redshirt freshman behind center. That will make the difference in the end contributing to a UCLA victory.
