USC before Darnold went 8-6 (6-3 in conf play).
USC with true freshman Darnold went 10-3 including a 9 game winning streak, won the PAC 12 and Rose Bowl.
USC is also still undefeated this year at 4-0.
Meanwhile, UCLA went from a 10-3 team in 2014 to 8-5 in 2015 with freshman Rosen.
Then in 2016, sophomore Rosen led UCLA to 3-5 before being out for the remainder of the season.
And is Rosen really making them competitive again this year? They are 2-2 with Rosen under center.
I'm not saying Rosen is bad, I'm just saying his impact on the overall success of the team may not be as high as you indicate.
Huge difference in talent at USC vs. UCLA - especially at WR.
One thing that really worries me about Darnold - scouts are calling him the 1-read wonder. He goes to his first read and if it's not open, he doesn't go the next. That's a huge issue.
