UCLA's Rosen predicts Texas A&M will do 'incredibly well' in 2017

Three days after leading a miraculous 34-point comeback against Texas A&M, UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen predicted a more prosperous rest of the season for the reeling Aggies.

"I think people are gonna underestimate them," Rosen told ESPN's Kyle Bonagura on Wednesday. "I think they hit really hard, they're really fast, and they're very technically sound. I think they're going to do incredibly well this season."

The Aggies seemed to have a stranglehold of Sunday's contest, but squandered their massive lead in a stunning second-half collapse and took a loss to begin the campaign.

The defeat intensified the pressure on head coach Kevin Sumlin - who's been told by Texas A&M brass he's coaching for his job in 2017 - but Rosen believes the Aggies have a strong leader at the helm.

"Coach Sumlin has done an incredible job with the guys," he said. "We just got momentum going and just had a really, really hot quarter and a half."

Led by Rosen, UCLA outscored Texas A&M 28-0 in the fourth frame to notch a 45-44 win.
