The biggest thing UCLA wants for Christmas in the desert is one final victory. Its best chance to get that win would be if Josh Rosen plays against Kansas State on Tuesday.
However, with the star quarterback still working through concussion protocol, the final decision will be out of his hands.
“If they give me the green light then full steam ahead and I’m preparing as if I am (playing),” Rosen said Saturday at Cactus Bowl Media Day. “I really hope I’m out there. I want to be out there.”
He continues take snaps in practice. The Bruins practiced Saturday afternoon with a walk-through Sunday. They’ll have another Monday and then one more before Tuesday’s game at 6 p.m. PT.
