Football

Quarterback threw four touchdown passes and set a new UCLA school record.

Redshirt senior quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson of the UCLA football team has been selected for the second consecutive week as the UCLA Student-Athlete of the Week, presented by Ready, for Oct. 3-9.

Thompson-Robinson had a record-setting performance in the Bruins' 42-32 win against No. 11 Utah at Rose Bowl Stadium Saturday. The Las Vegas native completed 18 of 23 throws for 299 yards and four touchdowns, while also accounting for a score on the ground. His fourth and final touchdown toss went for 70 yards to Logan Loya, extending UCLA's fourth-quarter lead to 35-25 and pushing the Las Vegas native to first on the program's all-time list for passing touchdowns, with his 76th. Thompson-Robinson's .826 completion percentage against the Utes marked his third game this season over 80%. He has also passed for three or more touchdowns in three games.

This is Thompson-Robinson's second UCLA student-athlete of the week award of the season and fourth of his career.
