The Bruins travel to Texas to take on the Aggies this week in a big time PAC-12 vs SEC matchup. UCLA is 2-2 lifetime against Texas A&M and 12-12-2 vs the SEC. The Bruins are looking to take the lead in both series with a win this Saturday.
The Aggies and Bruins have both made a habit of starting hot recently. Texas A&M has started 5-0 the last two years and have gone 3-1 in season openers under Coach Kevin Sumlin (the only loss was a close 20-17 defeat in his 2012 debut against #9 Florida). UCLA is 4-0 in season openers under Mora, and the Bruins have started at least 3-0 in each of his first four seasons.
