Josh Rosen didn’t look like someone preparing to play in warmups.
The right-handed quarterback threw some short left-handed passes, patted receivers on the back and pantomimed a throwing motion for his backup, Mike Fafaul.
Looks weren’t deceiving. Rosen did not play during UCLA’s 52-45 loss to No. 19 Utah on Saturday at the Rose Bowl, the second consecutive game he sat out because of injuries to his lower body and the area around his throwing shoulder.
Fafaul set school records for completions (40) and passing attempts (70) on the way to a career-high 464 yards and five touchdowns with four interceptions.
