Josh Rosen

They were done. Buried. Everyone was calling for Jim Mora’s head and saying Josh Rosen was overrated. And then the magic started to happen.

Down 38-10 at the half and trailing 44-10 in the second half, UCLA rallied for 35 straight points to come back and beat Texas A&M in their season opener 45-44 on Sunday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

The Bruins scored four touchdowns in the fourth quarter and tied the game on a brilliant fake spike play from Rosen.

The Bruins took the lead on the extra point and then stopped Texas A&M on downs to win the game.

Rosen finished 35 of 58 for a career-high 491 yards and four touchdowns. That fake spike TD is the one they’ll be playing on his highlight film for a long time.
