USC’s Darnold, UCLA’s Rosen to square off for 1st time

Los Angeles • Sam Darnold and Josh Rosen were born four months apart in 1997, and they grew up on opposite sides of Los Angeles' sprawling metroplex. As two of the nation's top quarterback prospects, they chose opposing sides in the crosstown collegiate rivalry.

Rosen leads UCLA (5-5, 3-4 Pac-12) into the Coliseum to face Darnold and No. 12 Southern California (9-2, 7-1) in what might be L.A.'s only chance to see both of its big-time NFL prospects between the same hash marks.
