The top ranked recruit is in the middle of a position battle with the experienced Jerry Neuheisel, but Rosen's ridiculous arm strength, athleticism and football I.Q. might set him apart from the long-time backup.
After the departure of Brett Hundley, UCLA's all time passing touchdown and total offense record holder, the Bruin coaching staff has two candidates for Hundley's successor.
The first candidate is redshirt junior Jerry Neuheisel, Hundley's long time backup, who already has a dramatic win over a decent-at-best Texas team under his belt. Neuheisel has plenty of first-hand experience with UCLA's offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone's play calling tendencies, but lacks many of the qualities that can advance an offense.
