38-27 Ags

24-21 Ags

45-20 ucla,Rosen throws for over 400 yards and 5 TD, gets sacked 0 times.

34-16 Ucla

No pass rush and QB turnovers result in 38 - 21 UCLA victory. Rosen has huge day for Bruins.

38 - 17 UCLA The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

27-16 - UCLA

sometimes it hurts to be right.

If our offense scores more than two rushing touchdowns on this salty UCLA linebacker corps, then we will be in for a fun season.

I think it will be 34-24 Ags

2 TDs rushing, punt return for a TD and a long passing TD.

for our D:
3 sacks, 3 TFL one INT one fumble recovery

Three TDs passing for Rosen

Sad to say but:

UCLA 23
Ags 17

On their way to a "stellar" 6-6 season.

Despite an unbelievable effort by our middle linebacker, UCLA rallies from a 16-0 deficit to pull out a 29-23 win. Some electric runs from our RB, but our offense becomes stagnant in the 4th quarter.

52 - 17
Aggies win
Aggies start out with solid quarterback play from Starkel.
Defense is solid with Dodson shutting down the run between tackles. Game tied at 14-14 at half.

Mond comes in to to get a look at some dual threat offense.
AGS score 5 more touchdowns and a field goal. Offense under Mond is UNSTOPPABLE. defense holds UCLA to just a field goal in second half.

Lots of talk about Possible heisman and the Aggies are ranked top 15 national.

I don't know if we have the pass rush to slow down UCLA's passing attack. Rosen still ended up throwing all over us last year even with Myles Garrett in his face every other play. Our offense is going to have to dominate TOP and grind out long drives that result in TD's for us to pull this one out IMO. I'm going with 24-31 UCLA.. hope I'm wrong.

27-31 Bruins

Ags 3
Bruins 2

28-21 Ags, Sumlin with the mid season extension....

35-28 Ags win in a close one

27-37 UCLA

Don't think it will be close. I see the AG's beating them handily. 30-7. Or so. I doubt they get double digits.

I don't see many reasons why we should win. Our passing game won't be as good, as we lost 4 receivers and start a green QB. Our running game should be better.

Our defense will not be as good IMHO after losing Garrett, Hall, and the SS. Having Wilson and Watts is nice, but our DE's aren't exactly setting the world on fire. I think they'll be average in passing situations and poor in running situations. I expect teams to run outside on us constantly, due to our DT's being the strength.

UCLA ran on us some last year (Jamabo had 91 yards) and Rosen had over 300 yards on last year's defense. They will be playing at home, and this one goes to the team with the best QB. Rosen is leaps and bounds better than anyone we have.

We will have to play typical SEC football if we want to win this game. Play time of possession (which isn't exactly our strength) and play sound defense (not exactly what Chavis has done so far).

I expect Rosen to have plenty of time in the pocket to pick us apart (with limited pass rush), and if we do send an extra man, he'll be even better. He should pass for 350+ yards easily, and I don't think it will be close. We might get a couple of cheap scores late to make it look reasonable, but the game should be already in hand for UCLA by then. An 0-1 start to hopefully Sumdawg Millionaire's last season.

Let's face you and the rest of us have no clue what is going to happen with the team. There are some obvious positives and negatives transitioning from last year to this but we don't know what that will mean on the field. Plus it seems every single one of the doomsday posters refuse to look at our opponents struggles coming into this year.

Yes, actually, we do know what it will mean. 8-5

That has nothing to do with my statement. Thanks for adding nothing of value to the conversation.

I see you changed your response slightly.

For me this will all come down to Chief's Defense. Rosen, as much as I hate to admit it, is damn good and he's got quite a few experienced weapons. If our D doesn't play well for 4 quarters it could get ugly quick. If they can fold our own and our sputtering, inexperienced offense can get a few scores we'll have a chance...

Prediction: We get 200 yards on the ground.

The only games last season where chief's D played a complete game were Auburn and Arkansas. In the other games they either blew it late (UCLA, UT, OM, Bama) or took the day off (LSU).

I don't have much reason to think they'll play for 4 quarters against UCLA. I'm still not sold on chief, honestly. For this reason I think UCLA beats us by 3-4 scores.

But, it'll be cool to see the Ags play in the rose bowl.

May be closer to the correct score than any others.

if the Bruins' "hands of stone" receivers show up again this year...maybe the Ags can pull it out

LOL

So, by the posts on this thread, QB pressure can ONLY come from DEs?

So no LBs or blitzing Ss, no DTs pushing the pocket, etc.

I'm not saying we will win vs UCLA but I do believe we will have a better overall defense this year even with the loss of Hall and Garrett, though their replacements aren't as good as those players were at the DE spot.

Watch the first half of the UT game from last season to see what our defense COULD be...

Beat UCLA, great and helps toward bowl eligibility, but really only the SEC games matter. We could be a much better team by USC than UCLA.

But I'm still guessing 7-5 overall....

38-23 Ags

Who ever starts at QB will have better than a 53 QBR. Our OL is going to be better. Better ball control running with Ford and Williams.

The UCLA OL is going to be their biggest question. I don't think the defense will need to do too much exotic to get through the line.

27-20 Aggies. We get burned early by Rosen then shut him down.

This game is impossible to predict as both teams are replacing a ton. For example, we don't know anything about our pass rush or their OL, which together make up one of the most important match-ups on the field.

I expect UCLA will reload to some extent on defense, and expect our offense to struggled early in the season (new qb + new guys on the OL). I expect our defense to be meh and their offense to be flat out bad (their OL was so bad last year).

Looks like a 21-17 type game with a lot of good defense and bad offense.

31 - 24 Aggies and the game isn't as close as the score w UCLA getting some points late.
