College football players get handed unsportsmanlike conduct penalties for a variety of reasons, ranging from fights to celebrations. But what about signing autographs?
UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson celebrated his first rushing touchdown of the day, lofting the Bruins 28–10 over USC, by signing a fan's hat. The referee quickly tried to guide him away, but the quarterback was set on finishing his signature.
Cue the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
USC quickly answered with a touchdown of its own, narrowing UCLA's lead to 28-17 going into halftime. Thompson-Robinson had a solid first half, going 10 of 16 passing for 239 yards and three touchdowns.
