Thompson-Robinson, using the bye week to help his recovery from a leg injury that caused him to miss a game, passed for two touchdowns and ran for another in helping UCLA end an 11-year drought against Stanford with a 34-16 victory over the Cardinal.

“I was day-to-day until tonight,” Thompson-Robinson said. “I had been practicing but I was told just before game time.”
