UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen took the blame following the Bruins’ 31-24 loss to Texas A&M last Saturday in overtime.

Senior receiver Kenneth Walker III also caught six passes for 115 yards and a touchdown in the loss.

OUR EARLY PICK: The biggest issue for the Bruins last Saturday at Kyle Field was the Aggies’ incredible pass rush. Rosen didn’t have much time to throw and one of his interceptions was the result of him being forced to take his eyes off the defense to retrieve a botched snap. UCLA’s offensive line shouldn’t have as many issues as it did last weekend and with the Bruins 12-3 against the spread in their last 15 games versus Mountain West opponents, Jim Mora’s squad should cover.
