UCLA players and coaches quickly took to Twitter to celebrate their 45-44 comeback over Texas A&M on Sunday night. The Bruins were down by 34 points with 4:08 to go in the third quarter of their season opener, responded with 35 unanswered points and notched the biggest comeback in school history. Surely it was a night to celebrate for the Bruins, but players were also committed to ensuring that this isn’t the only high point of the year.

“It’s a big win,” safety Adarius Pickett said. “First game, season opener at home, being that we were in a dog fight with them last year, it feels really good. But we gotta chalk this one up as a win and get ready for Hawai‘i next week.”
