His second receiving score came on a third-and-goal situation...All four second-half catches produced first downs as UCLA steadily pulled away in the game. Also nominated: Mycah Pittman, WR, ORE; Riley Sharp, OLB, OSU; Kenan Christon, RB, USC. - Pac-12 Football

10/17/19 - Dorian Thompson-Robinson, rSr/2023, UCLA + More +

Dorian Thompson-Robinson wasn't sure he was going to start Thursday's game until just before game time. It turned out to be the best decision of the night. Thompson-Robinson, using the bye week to help his recovery from a leg injury that caused him to miss a game, passed for two touchdowns and ran for another in helping UCLA end an 11-year drought against Stanford with a 34-16 victory over the Cardinal. "I was day-to-day until tonight," Thompson-Robinson said. "I had been practicing but I was told just before game time." Thompson-Robinson passed for 192 yards and rushed for 66 as UCLA snapped an 11-game losing streak to the Cardinal, dating to 2008. Joshua Kelley rushed for 176 yards, including a 54-yard touchdown run and a 53-yard gain. Kyle Phillips caught 10 passes for 100 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

"A win is always good," Thompson-Robinson said. "It goes back to getting together in the offseason and working on things like this." Jack West became Stanford's third different starting quarterback of the season, the first time that's happened since 1974. After early success, his inconsistent play led to a stalled offense. "I'm always preparing to be the guy and this week happened to be the game," West said. "It's me making my first start but at the end of the day, it's about execution, which is what we didn't have." The Bruins (2-5, 2-2 Pac-12) scored touchdowns on their first two possessions, both passes to Phillips, to open a 14-3 lead with 4:48 remaining to play. It was UCLA's first lead of more than seven points this season. - UCLA/AP College Football

10/05/19 - Zach Charbonnet, Sr/2023, UCLA + More +

Zach Charbonnet ran for a 2-yard touchdown to give No. 19 Michigan an early double-digit lead and its defense did the rest against No. 14 Iowa, forcing four turnovers and tallying eight sacks in a 10-3 win Saturday. The Wolverines (4-1, 2-1 Big Ten) were held scoreless over the final three quarters because they could not run or pass effectively, scoring just three points off the Hawkeyes' turnovers. Iowa (4-1, 1-1) failed to take advantage of favorable field position on its final two drives with a chance to extend the game or possibly win it with a touchdown and 2-point conversion. The Hawkeyes turned the ball over on downs at the Michigan 44 with 37 seconds left after a penalty- and sack-filled drive forced them to punt with a fourth-and-36 at midfield on the previous possession.

Iowa running back Mekhi Sargent fumbled on his team's first snap, giving up the ball at the Hawkeyes 18. Michigan, though, had to settle for a field goal after gaining just 6 yards. The Wolverines took a 10-0 lead on their next drive, which started with a 51-yard pass to Nico Collins and finished with Charbonnet's 2-yard run. Iowa avoided a shutout with Keith Duncan's 22-yard field goal early in the second quarter. Michigan's Shea Patterson was 14 of 26 for 147 yards with an interception. Iowa's Nate Stanley was 23 of 42 for 260 yards with three interceptions, ending a 139-pass streak without getting picked off. - Michigan/AP College Football

10/03/19 - Brittain Brown, rSr/2022, UCLA + More +

Duke running back Brittain Brown is out for the season with a shoulder injury. Team spokesman Kat Castner said Brown had season-ending surgery on his left shoulder Thursday. The procedure came two days after coach David Cutcliffe said Brown and the staff were weighing the possibility of having the procedure. Brown has carried just 12 times this season for 56 yards while dealing with the injury that kept him out of the victory at Middle Tennessee State. He carried twice for 13 yards in the win at Virginia Tech last week but did not return after re-injuring his shoulder. With Brown out, Deon Jackson and Mataeo Durant shape up as the Blue Devils’ top options at running back for this week’s game against Pittsburgh. They have combined to average 88.5 yards. - AP College Football

10/02/19 - *Sean Rhyan, Jr/2022, UCLA + More +

UCLA coach Chip Kelly was succinct when asked his opinion of California’s new law that would allow college athletes to be paid for the use of their names and likenesses. “It doesn’t matter what we think. It’s the law,” Kelly said. The Pac-12 Conference has condemned the law, which was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday. Coaches across the league were uncertain about what it might mean for them, especially in terms of recruiting. Four of the league’s teams are located in California: Stanford, Cal, UCLA and USC.

The law does not take effect until 2023. The schools would not pay the players for their likenesses, but players could be compensated by outside companies. Other states are considering similar legislation. Kelly wasn’t alone among his Pac-12 counterparts in his pragmatism. Almost all of the league’s coaches responded that they were taking a wait-and-see approach to the issue when asked about it. The conference, however, was clear. “This legislation will lead to the professionalization of college sports and many unintended consequences related to this professionalism, imposes a state law that conflicts with national rules, will blur the lines for how California universities recruit student-athletes and compete nationally, and will likely reduce resources and opportunities for student-athletes in Olympic sports and have a negative disparate impact on female student-athletes,” the Pac-12's statement said. - AP College Football

09/22/19 - Dorian Thompson-Robinson, rSr/2023, UCLA + More +

Coach Chip Kelly says he never lost faith in his UCLA team, even as it was losing its first three games. Kelly said the Bruins played hard all 12 quarters of those losses, and that paid dividends when they fell behind at No. 19 Washington State on Saturday night. Dorian Thompson-Robinson threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Demetric Felton with 1:07 left in the game as UCLA overcame a 32-point second-half deficit to claim a wild 67-63 victory over the Cougars. "I always thought we were a good football team," Kelly said. "If we could be consistent." "When you are battle-tested like our guys are, I think that showed up today."

The Bruins overcame a record nine TD passes by Washington State's Anthony Gordon. After Felton's TD, Gordon was sacked and fumbled - the team's sixth turnover of the game - on the next possession with about a minute remaining and UCLA recovered and ran out the clock. Thompson-Robinson threw for 507 yards and five touchdowns for UCLA (1-3, 1-0 Pac-12). Gordon threw for 570 yards and broke the school record with nine TD passes for Washington State (3-1, 0-1). Jacksonville Jaguars' starting QB Gardner Minshew, a sixth round draft pick who was on the WSU sidelines for Saturday's game, held the school record of seven TD passes in a game, set in November 2018 against Arizona. - UCLA/AP College Football

UCLA linebacker Bo Calvert is out indefinitely due to a violation of NCAA rules. The school announced the sophomore's status on Sunday but did not specify the infraction. Calvert played in five games last year with nine tackles. His absence is another blow to the Bruins' depth at inside linebacker after projected starter Tyree Thompson suffered a foot injury and had to undergo surgery. Seniors Krys Barnes and Lokeni Toailoa are listed as the starters going into Thursday's season opener at Cincinnati. The Bruins (3-9 last season) are also without senior outside linebacker Keisean Lucier-South for at least the first five games due to academic issues. - AP College Football

08/04/19 - Joshua Kelley, rSr/2020, UCLA + More +

UCLA running back Joshua Kelley is officially "day-to-day" with a knee injury, head coach Chip Kelly said Sunday before practice. Kelley, UCLA's star running back, sustained the injury in practice Thursday and has not been on the field for practice the past three days. He was seen before practice on the field Sunday, wearing a yellow noncontact jersey and a bulky brace on his right leg that stretched from his thigh to his ankle. Flanked by several members of the training staff, Kelley stood stationary while catching passes from the jugs machine in the corner of the field before slipping into the weight room when the rest of the team began practice.

When asked about the redshirt senior who carried UCLA's running attack with 1,243 rushing yards last year, Kelly was nonchalant. "We're not going to lose Josh Kelley, so Josh is day-to-day," the coach said, speaking to reporters for the first time since before Thursday's practice. "He should be back in a couple of days, so he's fine." - Orange County Register
