Many expected good things from the UCLA Bruins heading into the season, with the main uncertainty being true-freshman quarterback Josh Rosen.

Rosen has had a small sample size to show the public thus far, but through two games, he's been one of the most impressive young talents in all of college football. But his head coach, Jim Mora, knows that it's important to "temper expectations" after Rosen's the sensational debut.

Where might Jim Mora like to see improvement from Josh Rosen? "Handing the ball off instead of trying to throw it." http://t.co/06KbzRP7SS

In a recent interview with the Orange County Register, Mora said he expects Rosen to improve “handing the ball off instead of trying to throw it” -- especially on run-pass options.

But Mora also had some high praise for his quarterback, offering: "He just has tremendous poise and focus and the ability to move through the good and move through the bad and just keep playing.”
