10. UCLA – Can Josh Rosen recapture the hype?

It wasn’t long ago that Josh Rosen was the darling of Los Angeles and created ridiculous hype for the UCLA Bruins. Unfortunately, an injury-plagued year and the emergence of Sam Darnold at USC has really taken the spotlight from Rosen.

His unbelievable talent is still there and the Bruins need him more than ever to bounce back and show why he can be one of the best quarterbacks in the country. A player that had people believing the Bruins could make the College Football Playoff, now his test of adversity.

Establishing a consistent ground game would really help Rosen out and wouldn’t put as much pressure on him to have to do it all himself. The Bruins haven’t quite performed up to level for the talent they had going into last year and then it just went downhill fast.

If Rosen can prove he’s healthy and stay on the field consistently, then things will be night and day for the program. This is his chance to try and get the spotlight back on himself and the program. Is he up to the task?
