LOS ANGELES -- UCLA coach Jim Mora is hopeful quarterback Josh Rosen will be able to play at Washington State on Saturday.Regardless of Rosens status, there are fundamental issues for the Bruins offense to address.Rosen was twice knocked out of the 23-20 loss at Arizona State. A right leg injury left the sophomore limping in the first half, and a hard landing on his throwing shoulder in the fourth quarter sidelined him for the rest of the game.Mora would not go into specifics regarding either and instead took the approach used by NHL coaches, referring to Rosens ailments as upper body and lower body injuries. Still, Mora expects Rosen to exhaust every option to be able to play against the Cougars.He doesnt want to let anyone down and loves to compete, Mora said. I was impressed by the way he came back in and fought through some obvious pain and delivered a pretty good performance. I think he showed some grit, some toughness and I think his teammates appreciated that.Rosen threw for 400 yards and two touchdowns with one interception against the Sun Devils. Former walk-on Mike Fafaul was 3 of 11 passing for 44 yards and two interceptions in relief of Rosen, neither quarterback getting any help from the beleaguered UCLA run game as Nate Starks and Soso Jamabo rushed for just 40 yards on 17 carries.Despite spending the offseason installing a run-oriented offense intended to become more physical, UCLA is averaging 2.95 yards per carry, ahead of only Miami (Ohio) and Texas State among the 128 FBS teams.UCLA has 595 yards rushing this season. Washington State, a pass-heavy Air Raid offense that lines up with four receivers most of the time, has run for 381 yards in its last two games, outrushing Oregon and Stanford by 106 yards combined in those wins.Right now were just sub-standard in a lot of ways in the run game, Mora said. Thats not a statement that is going to astound people. We all know that.Those meager rushing statistics are exacerbated by the 15 sacks allowed, one more than UCLA surrendered all of last season.Mora wont assign the blame for the offenses struggles to any one player or position group. Instead, Mora pointed to a series of individual breakdowns that can cause a negative play, be it a running back not picking up the right defender in pass protection or misreading a block carrying the ball, a wide receiver not running the right route, or the quarterback holding the ball too long. And when the rush offense isnt effective, opponents can unleash the pass rush on Rosen or Fafaul.Its a fine line between being 6-0 and 3-3, and we have to find a way to get over that line and make those plays when they need to be made, Mora said.UCLA has been in this position before, starting 1-2 in Pac-12 play in four of Moras five seasons. The difference this time is the offenses confidence is a little shaken, Mora admitted, making the balance between making corrections and maintaining belief in the new system difficult.You have got to find a way to be critical and demanding and honest with yourself. At the same time you have got to find a way to build confidence back and thats tricky, Mora said. You got to have some success. You have got to try to create some success.Game notes Mora expects right tackle Kolton Miller (left leg) to return this season. Miller did not play against Arizona State and is still in a cast after suffering the injury against Arizona. Its just a matter of when, Mora said. Its a pain thing.

Vazquez was in control for most of the first half of the fight but Lopez, a southpaw, really picked things up in the later rounds before sending Vazquez to the mat courtesy of a flurry of shots, including a powerful left hand, in the 11th round. When he landed on his rear end along the ropes, referee Ramon Pena immediately called off the fight at 2 minutes, 29 seconds.But that was not the end of the fight because as Lopez celebrated he stormed toward one of Vazquezs cornermen and they began punching each other, setting off a near-riot that took a few minutes to calm down. Eventually Lopez and Vazquez (who announced his retirement) hugged it out and seemed to have settled their differences, but Lopez could be in hot water. Puerto Rican commission members went to the television truck to get video of the post-fight melee, for which Lopez and the unidentified Vazquez cornerman probably will face sanctions.The co-feature was scheduled to match former world title challenger Jonathan Oquendo (26-5, 16 KOs), 33, of Puerto Rico, against Gustavo Molina (23-13, 9 KOs), 27, of Mexico, but the fight was canceled hours before they were to enter the ring when the Puerto Rican commission discovered that Molina was on an indefinite suspension following a knockout loss in his previous fight in September.Saturday at Los Cabos, MexicoCesar Juarez W10 Richard PumicpicJunior featherweight Scores: 98-91, 96-93, 95-93 Records: Juarez (19-5, 14 KOs); Pumicpic (18-8-2, 6 KOs)Rafaels remarks: In December 2015, Juarez faced Nonito Donaire for a vacant junior featherweight world title and gave him everything he could handle in a decision loss that was a fight of the year candidate.

He gave the somewhat lethargic Mijares all he could handle in a sloppy fight in which he sliced open a cut over his left eye during the seventh round.Mijares, who is on track to become an eventual mandatory challenger for the 126-pound belt by Gary Russell Jr., won his sixth fight in a row since a one-sided decision loss challenging then-junior featherweight world titleholder Leo Santa Cruz in March 2014.Also on the card, former unified strawweight world titleholder Francisco Rodriguez Jr. (20-4-1, 13 KOs), 23, of Mexico, won his third bout in a row as he dropped Crison Omayao (20-13-3, 7 KOs), 23, of the Philippines, three times en route to a fifth round knockout victory in their of a flyweight fight.Friday at Laredo, TexasErick De Leon TKO3 Aldimar Dos Santos Silva Junior Lightweight Records: De Leon (14-0, 8 KOs); Dos Santos Silva (19-11, 10 KOs)Rafaels remarks: De Leon, 24, of Detroit, is crowd-pleasing fighter who comes forward throwing punches, many of his found the face of Silva, 35, of Brazil, who was little more than a punching bag that threw a few wild punches in the main event of Top Ranks Solo Boxeo card.De Leon cruised through the first round and then battered Silva in the second round, including scoring two knockdowns.
