Anyone who watched UCLA’s walk-through Saturday afternoon on an intramural field at the University of Idaho might have thought quarterback Josh Rosen was on the verge of playing that night.
Rosen took all of the snaps, Bruins Coach Jim Mora said Monday, which left the coach “very hopeful” that Rosen could start as usual against Washington State.
That possibility was erased when Rosen’s body didn’t sufficiently respond that evening, during early warmups before the game. But there was an upside to Rosen testing the injuries to his lower body and the area around his throwing shoulder.
