Josh Rosen shows his tender age, on a day others aged, in UCLA's win

UCLA freshman quarterback Josh Rosen, finally, looked every bit of age 18.

He looked it on the Rose Bowl field Saturday night, against a team of grownups from Brigham Young, throwing loose passes into tight coverage.

He looked it on the two first-half interceptions he gifted to BYU middle linebacker Harvey Langi, and on the third he threw to defensive back Kai Nacua.

Rosen looked like every freckle on his student ID card when he sneaked into the interview room at the Rose Bowl. It was around midnight, after UCLA had secured a 24-23 victory in which Rosen was more an impediment than the catalyst.
