UCLA beat Washington 40-32 on Friday night at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, and quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson was a big reason why.
The Bruins quarterback passed for 315 yards and 3 touchdowns, and he also rushed for 53 yards and a touchdown. One of his most impressive plays came on an amazing hurdle late in the second quarter.
UCLA was leading 26-10 against the Huskies and had a 2nd-and-17. Thompson-Robinson took a snap from shotgun, saw some pressure and decided to scramble. As Washington’s Kamren Fabiculanan approached, DTR leaped over the linebacker.

What a great shot of the play.
DTR’s hurdles are nothing new.
Here is one he did in 2021 against USC:

The hurdle might be DTR’s signature move, and that hurdle against Washington might be his signature play.
