Very rarely does Washington Huskies football coach Chris Petersen effuse over an opposing player.
But he cannot help it with UCLA’s Josh Rosen.
“Probably the top guy in college football throwing the ball,” Petersen said Monday. “He’s tremendous, for sure.”
And the stout UW secondary will certainly face its toughest test of the season come Saturday when Rosen and the high-powered Bruins comes to Husky Stadium for a Pac-12 showdown.
Rosen is not only leading the Pac-12 in passing (2,620 yards, 19 touchdowns), he is No. 2 among FBS quarterbacks behind Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph (2,650 yards).
