UCLA football completed the largest comeback in program history Sunday night in its 45-44 win over Texas A&M. Junior quarterback Josh Rosen led the comeback by going 35-for-59 for 491 yards and four touchdowns, with each of those coming in the fourth quarter.
To say the Jedd Fisch era at UCLA started poorly would be an understatement.
Under the Bruins’ new offensive coordinator, their offense opened the game with a field goal but followed that with fumbles on back-to-back drives and four consecutive three-and-outs.

Jedd Fisch calls himself a Patriots fan, but when the first-year offensive coordinator looked up at the scoreboard that showed UCLA football trailing Texas A&M by 34 points, he couldn’t even dream of a Super Bowl-like comeback – not when the Bruins were down by almost twice as much as New England was against the Atlanta Falcons.
The Josh Rosen comeback UCLA football fans had been waiting 11 months for kicked off against Texas A&M.
It wasn’t pretty.
The Aggies outplayed the Bruins in every facet of the first half – 342 to 151 in net total yards, 13 to 8 in first downs and 18:21 to 11:39 in minutes of possession.
Last year’s season-opening 31-24 loss to Texas A&M was a rude awakening for Josh Rosen.
The then-sophomore quarterback threw three interceptions and was sacked five times and hurried another 23 as the Aggies’ pair of elite defensive ends, Myles Garrett and Daeshon Hall, created pressure play after play.
