Another of those big opening weekend games that have been created by the College Football Playoff format sees Texas A&M traveling out to Southern California to take on UCLA. This is not a battle of the top teams in the Pac-12 and SEC, but it is still a contest that has big stakes in terms of conference pride and potential bowl implications down the road.
This is a rematch from last season's opener that saw the Aggies hold their home field against the Bruins. Offense should be the focus in this game as the Bruins have one of the best young quarterbacks in the nation in Josh Rosen, while the Aggies feature a pure breakaway threat at running back in sophomore Trayveon Williams.
