1. Josh Rosen

Yes, my final reason for the Bruins’ impending victory on Saturday is Josh Rosen. Do I need to say more? The junior quarterback proved himself as one of the best gunslingers in the nation on Sunday night in the with over the Aggies and he will do so again with a weaker defense coming to town.

Hawaii has surrendered about 285 passing yards per game in two contests this season and the Rainbow Warriors have yet to play a quality opponent. If they can allow nearly 300 yards to cupcakes, imagine what the best quarterback in the country, arguably, will do.

The Rosen factor strikes fear into opponents, and for good reason. He was the main reason UCLA even had a chance to come back against Texas A&M. He engineered long drive after long drive, capping them off with passing scores. He had four touchdown passes in the second half alone and finished with 491 yards through the air.

Rosen is going to have yet another big day for the Bruins and I’m going to say he goes for 350 yards and four more touchdowns. This kid will show off against Hawaii.
