Rosen seems like a super-smart and super-arrogant kid who's going to be a headache for Mora. And Mora's taunting shtick won't work the way he thinks. From the LAT:
A new element may have been introduced to the UCLA quarterback competition: method acting.
Freshman quarterback Josh Rosen, the darling of the recruiting analysts while at Bellflower St. John Bosco High, was having a good practice Wednesday morning. Then he got lackadaisical launching a Hail Mary pass during a drill at the end.
Cue Coach Jim Mora.
“You’re not at ... Bellflower St. John Bosco,” Mora screamed. “That’s why you have not been named the starter.”
The big question for No. 14 UCLA is quarterback
Rosen threw another Hail Mary and Mora got colorfully descriptive:
--“You can’t hit an open receiver down field with no defense.”
--“The ‘Anointed One.’”
--“Go back to Bosco and beat some more [bad] teams.”
Finally, Mora looked at the members of the media present and yelled, “Tell your readers that is why has not been named the starter.”
And, scene.
