What will life be like for UCLA Football after next season’s starting quarterback Josh Rosen leaves? Go Joe Bruin takes a look at the 2018 QB situation.

With a healthy Josh Rosen returning to the Bruins after a shoulder injury against Arizona State ended his 2016 campaign, this year’s UCLA Bruins team is looking to improve on their disappointing 4-8 record from last year.

Behind Rosen this year are redshirt freshmen Devon Modster and Matt Lynch. Both have yet to take a real game snap for the Bruins. If Rosen gets hurt again, it will be one of these inexperienced QBs that will have to take the reigns. We could witness either the birth of another great Bruin quarterback or a repeat of the disappointment from last year.

Fortunately, things are looking up for the Bruins’ quarterbacks for the 2018 season. With a highly touted recruit joining two other quarterbacks gaining another year of experience under their belts, UCLA’s quarterback corp should be loaded for at least three more seasons.

Let’s take a look at who could be vying for the starting quarterback spot for the 2018 Bruins’ season.
