4. vs Texas A&M Aggies, Sept 3

Even if Texas A&M finishes the season 0-12, this will still be a very difficult game for UCLA.

Let’s first discuss the pressure that will be on the Bruins. Not only will the eyes of the UCLA fan base be on the football team, but now the nation will have a live look in as the game was moved from Saturday to Sunday of Labor Day weekend. That is right, UCLA and Texas A&M have the day all to themselves.

So not only does Jim Mora, Josh Rosen and the rest of the UCLA Football team have a lot to prove, but they are going to have a lot of people watching them begin the next era of the program with their third offensive coordinator in as many seasons.

And that isn’t even bringing Texas A&M in to consideration. Though they lost a considerable amount of players on both offense and defense, the Aggies are going to come prepared under the guidance of Head Coach Kevin Sumlin.
