Last week, the big Bruin story was the stunning debut of True Freshman QB Josh Rosen, who, in his very first game as a collegian, won National Player of the Week honors, and had people knee-jerking to premature Heisman talk. But yesterday, in Week 2 against UNLV, in his first-ever ROAD game, Rosen came back down to Earth. He had as many incompletions (7) in the first quarter as he did all game in Week 1, and later in the game he threw his first Interception, as he was hit hard before releasing the pass.
Rosen kept his poise, and was still accurate on short passes and slant patterns, but was routinely overthrowing his deep targets.
