Yes, generally outside of Rosen throwing more often, Browning had better numbers than Rosen.

And ignoring TD/Interception ratio.

I was going for what a preponderance of the numbers say.

Mostly, throwing more often means that UCLA relied upon Rosen to carry the offense more than UW relied upon Browning, so that is a point in Rosen's favor. [Though note Browning missed a game due to injury, so the total numbers are somewhat inflated versus per game - but Rosen still threw more.]

In contrast, I think that TD passes is one of the most over-rated pass stats. Just like TDs scored for a RB. Look at last year with McCaffrey - the short yardage TD simply was someone else's job. So, one can pass a team down to the 1 yard line, have Wright run it in, and that is supposed to be a black mark. Interceptions matter a lot, so Rosen's somewhat lower interception ratio would also be in his favor - but those are relatively close.
