Junior quarterback Josh Rosen of the UCLA football team has been voted the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for Aug. 28-Sept. 3.

Rosen orchestrated five touchdown drives down the stretch, as the Bruins rallied from a 44-10 third-quarter deficit to snatch a 45-44 season-opening win from the Aggies. The 34-point come-from-behind victory marked the largest in UCLA history and the second largest in an FBS game (35 by Michigan State, 2006). Over the game's final 15 minutes, the Manhattan Beach, Calif. native passed for 292 yards and four touchdowns. For the contest, Rosen established career highs in pass completions (35), pass attempts (59), passing yards (491), touchdown passes (four) and total offense (477 yards).

In addition, Rosen also earned a number of other accolades for his week-one performance. The other honors include: Pac-12 Player of the Wee, Maxwell Award Player of the Week for overall performance on offense, one of eight Manning Award Stars of the Week and the Rose Bowl Game Pac-12 Player of the Week.

This is Rosen's second UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week honor of his career.
