Thompson-Robinson leads UCLA past No. 15 Washington, 40-32
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “I think I told y’all on Monday, see if Washington can run with us, not the other way around.” The fifth-year senior also ran 2 yards for a score in the third quarter, when he sidestepped defenders Bralen Trice and Jayvion Green, causing them to fall on one another in a heap near the goal line in making it 33-10. Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. came into the game leading the nation in passing yards but struggled in the first half as UCLA scored on four straight drives and jumped out to a 26-10 halftime lead. Two plays later, the defense came up with its first big play when Penix botched a pitch and linebacker Laiatu Latu tackled Wayne Taulapapa in the end zone.
