Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson and running back Demetric Felton were each recognized on the national stage after the UCLA football team rallied for a 67-63 comeback win at Washington State in the highest scoring game in conference history.

Thompson-Robinson, who set a school record with 564 yards of total offense against the Cougars, was named the Walter Camp National FBS Player of the Week. In addition, the Manning Award, sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, named Thompson-Robinson one of its "Stars of the Week." The Davey O'Brien Foundation selected the Bruin sophomore as one of its Great Eight for the week. With 507 passing yards, Thompson-Robinson became just the third player in school history to throw for more than 500 yards in a game (Cade McNown-513 in 1998 v. Miami, Drew Olson-510 vs. Arizona State in 2005). In the second half alone, he had four touchdown passes and 322 passing yards while averaging 23 yards per completion. Thompson-Robinson also ran for two second-half scores in the win, his first career rushing touchdowns. He led scoring drives on five straight second-half possessions and directed a sixth for the game-winning points with just over a minute left in regulation as the Bruins rallied from a 32-point third quarter deficit for the win.

Felton was named to the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll for the week. The Paul Hornung Award presented by Texas Roadhouse is given annually to the most versatile player in major college football by the Louisville Sports Commission and football legend and Louisville native Paul Hornung. Felton scored three touchdowns in the comeback win over Washington State while racking up 263 all-purpose yards. His 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown marked the fifth kickoff return in school history of at least 100 yards and was the longest scoring return by a Bruin since Ishmael Adams brought a kickoff back 100 yards against Arizona State in 2014. Felton was also on the receiving end of a 94-yard scoring pass play from Thompson-Robinson. It was the second-longest passing play from scrimmage in UCLA history, behind only Wayne Cook's 95-yard completion to J.J. Stokes in a 1993 game against Washington. Felton also hauled in a 15-yard scoring pass with 1:07 remaining the fourth quarter which provided the winning points.
