Josh Rosen intended to lead UCLA back to national prominence. He’ll have to reclaim Los Angeles first.
His record as a college quarterback is 11-8 after a freshman season that ended with the Bruins losing three of their final four games and a sophomore season that ended on an operating room table.
He also lost the only game he played against USC, whose quarterback, Sam Darnold, has overtaken Rosen as the darling of the Pac-12 Conference.
UCLA Coach Jim Mora recently said Rosen was nearing full strength following surgery on the shoulder injury that limited him to half a season and doomed the Bruins to a 4-8 finish in 2016.
