Waste of season?

| | Comments (1) |

When I spoke to freshman receiver Nelson Rosario earlier this week, he acknowledged he has thought about whether he is wasting this season, and perhaps he should have red-shirted.
"I was sort of thinking that way,'' Rosario said. "It felt like sometimes they put me in there for a pass play, (the quarterback) wouldn't look my way. I just have to hang in there. But I understand. I have gotten a couple of balls throw to me.''
Rosario has played in three games and has one catch, but hasn't played much since the opener against Tennessee.
He said one of the reasons he hasn't played much the last two weeks (after returning from a knee injury) is his lack of knowledge of the offense.
"Sometimes I mess up, and I mess my own opportunity up," Rosario said. "It's little mental mistakes. Not necessarily wrong routes, but maybe the way we run the route, or a shift. Sometimes I'm hesitant, so I'm still working on that.

About Inside UCLA

This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
