UCLA scores 50 second-half points to rally past No. 19 Washington State 67-63, overcoming nine touchdown passes by the Cougars' Anthony Gordon
The story was all but written midway through the third quarter Saturday night at Martin Stadium, UCLA on its way to another low while getting blown out by a superior opponent.
UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson spun in triumph, arms raised over his head after he completed a performance that rewrote the narrative on his season. He threw for a career-high 507 yards and five touchdowns while running for two more touchdowns. But Washington State couldn’t run out the clock. Receiver Easop Winston Jr. fumbled after making a catch on the Cougars’ next drive, giving the ball back to the Bruins.
Gordon, who had continually shredded UCLA’s secondary, did it again, throwing a 65-yard touchdown pass to running back Max Borghi, who benefited from a defender slipping as he skirted the sideline. Felton zigzagged his way to a 100-yard kickoff return and stiff-armed his way to a 94-yard touchdown catch. The defense forced six turnovers, tripling the two takeaways it had generated in the season’s first three games.
Holmes was beaten on the play, but the ball found its way into his arms after Washington State’s Dezmon Patmon bobbled it.
