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.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- A year ago, a 48-14 win over Illinois got North Carolina going and propelled the Tar Heels on a run to the ACC championship game and a bowl.Coming off a 33-24 season-opening loss to Georgia that knocked them out of the Top 25, the Tar Heels could use a repeat performance Saturday when they travel to Illinois.It would be a confidence booster, receiver Ryan Switzer said. The 2016 team hasnt won a game yet. Were going into a Power Five team who had a good showing in week one, whos got new energy and a new staff, and a night game at their own place.The Illini are one big win into the tenure of new coach Lovie Smith. That 52-3 victory over Football Championship Subdivision school Murray State was nice, Smith said, but Saturdays game is a bigger deal.I dont know how North Carolinas looking at the game -- the way the beat us up last year, you know, he said. But for us, its a big game, and a true measuring stick to see where we are.Things to watch for Saturday when North Carolina visits the Illini:DEFENSIVE FRONTNorth Carolina gashed the Illini for 254 yards last year, 130 of them by then-sophomore tailback Elijah Hood. But the Illinois defensive line lived up to its billing in this seasons opener as the strength of the team, holding Murray State to minus-10 yards rushing and sacking Racers quarterbacks six times. Holding Hood in check might mean the Illini will see more of quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who produced just 156 yards on 24-of-40 passing against Georgia and threw more than Tar Heel coach Larry Fedora intended.When you start to get behind the chains the whole time, and youre in long yardage situations, its tough to sit in there and say were going to run the football. Ive never done that, Fedora said.HOODS WORKLOADHood was one of the ACCs top runners with 1,463 yards and 17 touchdowns last year, but he ggot just 10 carries for 72 yards against Georgia while UNC threw 40 passes.dddddddddddd Hood is a tackler-punishing runner with the ability to wear down defenses. Getting him going on the road would be a big help.GOING DEEPThe Tar Heels like to take deep shots in their fast-paced offense, but Trubisky failed to connect on a couple that could have changed the Georgia game. When the Tar Heels offense is humming, theyre churning out big yardage totals and pushing the tempo to wear down defenses. Fedora was pleased Trubisky protected the ball in his first start, but said he needed to do a better job with his footwork on those long balls.The offense will work, just do what youre taught to do, Fedora said. And I think he was trying to do too much.STOP THE RUNUNC came into the year knowing it would have to improve its run defense, but it didnt happen against the Bulldogs and Nick Chubb. Georgia ran for 289 yards in the opener, and the Tar Heels have now surrendered 1,561 yards on the ground in the last four games dating to last season. UNC has to reverse that trend soon.ILLINOIS ON THE GROUNDThe run game the Tar Heels will be trying to stop churned out 287 yards and four touchdowns against an overmatched Murray State defense. But only 49 of those yards belonged to starting tailback KeShawn Vaughn. Illinois stuck with Vaughn, giving him 17 carries in a game it had in hand early. A more productive Vaughn will help pound the North Carolina defense and keep the Tar Heel offense off the field.---AP Sports Writer Aaron Beard in Chapel Hill, North Carolina contributed to this report.---Follow David Mercer on Twitter: (at)davidmercerAP---Online: Associated Press college football coverage: collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
