Run defense isn’t the only area in which UCLA ranks among the nation’s worst teams. Junior quarterback Josh Rosen threw an interception for the fourth consecutive game, and junior running back Soso Jamabo coughed up a fumble as the Bruins dropped to the third-lowest turnover margin in the country following their game Saturday against the Wildcats.
