UCLA’s Dorian Thompson-Robinson Headbutts Pitt Player After TD Pass

UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson delivered an early highlight play in Friday afternoon’s Sun Bowl against Pittsburgh, but quickly followed it up with a questionable decision.

After connecting with Logan Loya for an 11-yard touchdown in the first quarter, the Bruins star ran down the field to celebrate with his teammates. He stopped just before the end zone to confront Panthers defensive back Marquis Williams.

Thompson-Robinson appeared to have some words for Williams before headbutting the Pittsburgh defender, prompting Williams to look around in disbelief. Officials eventually issued an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty to Thompson-Robinson, which was applied on the ensuing kickoff.
