CU football: Buffs aim to turn up heat on UCLA's Rosen

Colorado defensive lineman Leo Jackson III didn't hesitate this week when asked what the Buffaloes needed to do against UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen.

"Pressure," Jackson said. "He's a serious quarterback when you let him stay in the pocket."

Like most quarterbacks, Rosen, a true freshmen, has been flustered at times this season when he's under attack from the defense.

The problem for Bruins opponents is that applying that pressure isn't easy.

UCLA has allowed a conference-low eight sacks this season. Five of those came in the Bruins' back-to-back losses to Arizona and Stanford.

The Buffs have generated 19 sacks this season (fifth in the Pac-12) and will do their best to try to make life difficult for Rosen.
