You get the feeling that Crenshaw has absorbed Dorsey’s best punch and is going to roll from here.

After a scoreless first quarter, Crenshaw scored three touchdowns over the final 6:25 of the second quarter to take a 21-0 halftime lead.

De’Anthony Thomas has two scores, one on a 38-yard reverse and another on an eight-yard reception from Marquis Thompson.

Dorsey got a first down on its first drive and has none since. The Dons have 30 total yards to Crenshaw’s 197. Quarterback Joseph Gray, hurried almost every time he drops back to pass, has completed three of 11 passes for 26 yards with an interception.

Geoffrey Norwood has 54 yards rushing and Thomas has 49 yards rushing for Crenshaw.

The Cougars will get the ball to start the third quarter.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
