USC defense plans to test UCLA's Rosen in rivalry game

LOS ANGELES (AP) Southern California knows it must force freshman quarterback Josh Rosen into making mistakes to beat No. 22 UCLA, something much easier said than done.

Rosen has not thrown an interception in his last 218 passes, the longest streak in the FBS this season and a new school record. Much of that success comes from improved pass protection and Rosen's understated ability to avoid pressure.

''He keeps plays alive,'' Trojans linebacker Su'a Cravens said. ''He's not necessarily going to scramble or move in the pocket to find a running lane, he's going to do it to keep the play going and find an open receiver and he does it pretty well.
