Dorian Thompson-Robinson causes 2 defenders to crash into each other on TD run in upset win over No. 15 Washington
Dorian Thompson-Robinson and the UCLA Bruins had a big night, taking down No. 15 Washington 40-32 Friday. One of UCLA’s many touchdowns was a highlight 2-yard keeper for Thompson-Robinson.
No two football players ever want to be part of a friendly-fire instance that gets turned into a meme. Two Washington defenders, however, are likely to get memed for what happened on a QB keeper.
In the 3rd quarter, UCLA was 2 yards out when Thompson-Robinson scored. Two-yard TD runs aren’t usually highlight clips, but Thompson-Robinson’s score stood out for what happened at the goal line. The UCLA quarterback made 2 Washington defenders crash into each other instead of tackling him.
