Sonoran Hot Reads: UCLA staying the course with its offense

Despite early season struggles, the Bruins are sticking to the new plan

Rich Rodriguez alluded to the different offensive system the UCLA Bruins will bring to the field against the Arizona Wildcats this year, and that system has caught some heat after their last couple of games. But the Bruins are staying patient with the new system, and are sticking with it. Several times on Tuesday, UCLA QB coach Marques Tuiasosopo used the phrase “staying the course” when referring to Josh Rosen and the new offense. Hopefully their watered bamboo doesn’t decide to start growing like crazy this week
