Determination

2015 was a good year, but it was not great. The goal for the UCLA Football team and Rosen is to be great. Throughout high school, all Rosen knew how to do was win and that was his mentality coming to Westwood.

The competition was a lot tougher in college, but with proper coaching, guidance and development, Rosen was able to take control of this team and make it his own. As stated before, 8-5 is not a bad record, but it is something no Bruin wanted. The goals here are a South Division title and a Pac-12 Championship and UCLA has been on the cusp of that every year Mora has been in Westwood.

UCLA has to figure out how to make that jump from a good team to a great team and Rosen is just the kind of player to help them in that quest.

The Bruins have a few things they have to overcome like beating Texas A&M and BYU on the road in non-conference play, finally beating Stanford and shutting down USC at the end of the season. If Rosen can do this while also handling the rest of the teams on the schedule, then he will not only elevate the Bruins, but his status as a big time college quarterback.

If Rosen does get UCLA back to the Pac-12 Championship Game, then there is no reason why he should not just be considered a Heisman contender, but a Heisman winner. Go Bruins! Go Rosen!
