Slide, Josh Rosen, slide, UCLA coaches say
UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen is hit hard by Arizona safety Will Parks after an 11-yard scramble in the first half at Arizona Stadium.There were two things concerned UCLA Coach Jim Mora after a 56-30 victory over Arizona Saturday. How the Wildcats ran the ball and how quarterback Josh Rosen ran the ball.
Fixing the defense, which allowed 353 yards rushing, will take some tinkering. Getting the freshman quarterback to protect himself, Mora hopes, is a done deal.
Rosen, at a lean 6 feet 4, presents a tasty target to head-hunting linebackers. Twice he took off against the Wildcats, once on a scramble and the other on a zone-read option. Both times he got clobbered.
