In Saturday’s clash between the UCLA Bruins and the USC Trojans, UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson put on a clinic in the first half. One which included four total touchdowns, and ended in a nice souvenir for one lucky (and prepared) fan in the end zone.
On second and goal with 2:21 left to play in the first half, Thompson-Robinson kept the ball and ran with it, picking up a block from his running back to dart to the left pylon for the Bruins’ fourth touchdown of the half. After tumbling to the edge of the grandstands, Thompson-Robinson was greeted by a fan with a UCLA hat and Sharpie, and Thompson-Robinson obliged with their mid-game autograph request.
Thompson-Robinson’s touchdown run put the finishing touches on a spectacular first half, as he recovered from throwing two interceptions on his first two passes of the game to toss three touchdowns as well as his rushing score. Thompson-Robinson’s touchdown run put UCLA up 28-10, but USC was able to respond to make the halftime score 28-17.
UCLA is looking to break a recent string of dominance by USC in their rivalry, as a Bruins victory would mark just their second over the Trojans since 2014.
