UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen found a locker room of support.
The Bruins finished the first half in a funk. Rosen had three passes intercepted, two with UCLA so close to the goal line that the extra-point unit was limbering up.
In the recess of the Rose Bowl, following a first half to forget, there was a moment to remember. UCLA’s 24-23, come-from-behind victory over Brigham Young on Saturday was rooted in it.
Rosen said that Coach Jim Mora pulled him aside at halftime.
“He said, ‘Don’t even think that I’m pulling you, you’re riding this one out,’ ” Rosen said.
