What'd we learn? 3. Jake Bobo really emerging as that No. 1 receiver. Coming into the year, no one really knew who was going to step up as Dorian Thompson- ...

"I wanted all those Washington Huskies over there to run off that field at the end of the game. But after taking down Washington in such a fashion, Kelly's squad will start to creep into the national spotlight.

Breaking down the most notable storylines that came out of the Bruins' win over the Huskies on Friday.

In reality, Thompson-Robinson is a total longshot for Heisman and there is only a minuscule chance he brings home the most coveted individual hardware in college football this season. The packed student section looked and sounded raucous, and the noise in the stadium even forced some false starts and early timeouts out of Washington. He has the numbers, highlights, juice and veteran savvy to really make waves this year – that much is certain. Thompson-Robinson has gone four consecutive starts without an interception – the longest streak in his career – and he has now thrown 137 straight passes without a pick. The dual-threat passer has also rushed for 223 yards and three touchdowns. Maybe the play of the game didn’t even show up on the stat sheet. Four total touchdowns may be just another day at the office for Thompson-Robinson, but when you add in the glitz and glamour of his hurdle and goal line side step that garnered millions of views online, it makes those numbers look even better. For 90% of the game, UCLA was in total control, getting whatever it wanted on offense and making Michael Penix Jr.'s night a living hell. Through five games, Thompson-Robinson has thrown for 1,211 yards and 11 touchdowns with just one interception on 74.3% completion and a 171.4 passer rating. Putting up 500 yards of offense and severely limiting the nation's leading passer is no small feat, and the Bruins accomplished both at the Rose Bowl this weekend. The former top recruit has quietly been putting up big numbers and extended highlight reels since 2020 – Friday night just signaled a true coming out party on the national stage. A lot of the talk over the past week has been about how UCLA's 4-0 record didn't mean much.
