It looks like quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson is starting again for UCLA

In a move that should surprise no one, it appears as if Dorian Thompson-Robinson will remain UCLA’s starting quarterback against No. 10 Washington on Saturday at the Rose Bowl.

Thompson-Robinson was taking snaps in pregame warmups from Boss Tagaloa, the presumed starting center, signaling that Thompson-Robinson will make a fourth consecutive start.

Graduate transfer quarterback Wilton Speight warmed up for a second consecutive game and took snaps from Christaphany Murray, the onetime center who has moved to guard with Tagaloa returning last week from the suspension that sidelined him for the season’s first three games.

Thompson-Robinson has struggled in back-to-back games, completing fewer than 50% of his passes and throwing for as many interceptions (two) as touchdowns in losses to Fresno State and Colorado.

The Bruins (0-4 overall, 0-1 Pac-12 Conference) are trying to avoid their first 0-5 start since 1943. Washington (4-1, 2-0) is trying to stay on the fringes of the College Football Playoff picture.
