With the amount of devastating rain that is falling on Houston and surrounding areas how is that affecting College Station? I have an nephew living west in Austin and he said the ran is heavy but no flooding.
Read up on your team and it appears your oline will be dominate this year, as UCLA d-line is deep, and talented its not as beefed up as last year's team. The fact they have only practiced against a below average OLINE in what UCLA has it has not given us any real indication of how good they will be nor do we have that go to leader at the LBer level.
The most talented aspect is that of the DB's. It appears that UCLA finally has a true lock down CB in Holmes, but he is a true freshman and UCLA problems with its receivers not being able to get separation is a concern to just how good he really is.
Other than Josh Rosen being healthy not to many note worthy signs on offense, a walk-on WR has cracked the starting rotation from obscurity but he has great hands and runs good routes, questions talked about is his speed. From what I saw he has good game speed. RB are a mystery right now, 4 guys vying for the starting spot, the leader is a 3* guy getting potential nod over two 5*. could have had a walk-on start but he has to sit out as he transferred in from UC Davis.
No depth on the oline and they just lost their first person on the depth chart for the season. So they are only 7 deep at best and one of them the Miami transfer can't play that many downs for some reason. The other solid factor that was no used as much as it might be this year is the TE, UCLA went to a converted jack of all trades with Iese last year to having 3 solid TE this year. So that my help Rosen with more targets and also a more competent OC.
TAMU lose Garrett and Hall but still have lots of talent. Only issue I see is who the starting QB will be but under Mazzone his scheme is very QB friendly. The only issue I see is this being a road game and the Aggies have the ability to practice and prepare. The other issues Bruin fans have brought up was the quality of TAMU's DBs overall. Can't wait for the season to start this team will be different than what you saw last year though not sure it will be better.
I hope this finds many Texans okay as Harvey is causing havoc on your state, be safe and prayers to those being hit by Harvey.

I've not had a great outlook for the season. Acutally hope and pray we don't even sniff 8-4 so we get a better coach or one with at the minimum higher upside.
As for our game on Sunday, well, I'd be lying if I said I was hyped or even well studied on it. Right now I'm happy my wife and kids are safe and my disabled dad didn't have to get evacuted at his place. We as a family are in so much better shape than just about anyone in Houston and I frankly don't know how we beat the odds.
I think once Saturday is here and Gameday comes on I will finally feel a sense of normalcy and happiness. I'm looking forward to having a couple of drinks and watching football for two days. Then I will be excited about the Ags and the game and talking shite with the other teams here on tRant.
Right now I'm just so fricking grateful that we made it through unscathed and I'm compelled to get out there and help whomever however I can. Numb. Also feel a bit numb too. Like WTF just happened numb.
None of this is meant in any condescending tone so please don't take it that way.

So glad to here you and your family have been spared. My nephew has been living in Austin for the past 4 years and my sister could not rest this past week until yesterday when Harvey started moving east. I pray for the people of Houston and proud to see how Texans rally around to their communities. Great representation of what being an American is all about.

Hard to get up for this game knowing so many players from Houston have been impacted in some way by Harvey. Hopefully they can be destracted in a good way come Sunday. Some Bruin fans thst I have on Bruin sites calling for the University to team up with Red Cross for collection and donations on Sunday but have nit heard an official announcement.
