UCLA QB has nerve issue

UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen is dealing with a nerve issue in his throwing shoulder, which has kept the sophomore out of the team’s last two games. Bruins Coach Jim Mora offered details on Rosen’s injury for the first time Monday, having previously referred to it only as an upper-body injury after Rosen landed hard on his throwing shoulder in the fourth quarter of a 23-20 loss at Arizona State. UCLA has an open week this week before playing a night game on Nov. 3 at No. 23 Colorado, but Mora does not know if the extended break will be sufficient to allow Rosen to return to action. Redshirt senior Mike Fafaul, a former walk-on, has started the past two games against Washington State and No. 17 Utah. Fafaul has thrown for 722 yards and eight touchdowns against six interceptions, setting school single-game records for pass attempts and completions in the 5245 loss to the Utes.
