Josh Rosen uses fake spike play to complete massive comeback

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.
