UCLA's Fafaul gets start at QB in place of Rosen

UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen, as expected, did not start for the Bruins at Washington State.

Instead, the Bruins turned to former walk-on Mike Fafaul, who took most of the first-team reps in practice this week. Rosen suffered a pair of injuries -- one to his lower body and one to his upper body, according to the team -- last week against Arizona State.

Earlier this week, coach Jim Mora said the staff would take into account both Rosen's short- and long-term health when deciding if he would play.
