UCLA Football: Chip Kelly Didn’t Think About Benching Dorian Thompson-Robinson

After the UCLA Bruins’ loss to the Cincinnati Bearcats on Thursday, the Bruins began their preparations for the San Diego State Aztecs this morning. For all of Chip Kelly’s talk about meritocracy* and playing the “guys who have earned playing time,” he was certainly prepared to not discuss the actual on-field play of one player whose performance was so bad on Thursday night that it should ensure that someone else earns some playing time this weekend against the Aztecs.

Ben Bolch of the LA Times asked Kelly for his assessment of Dorian’s play on Thursday now that he’s had a chance to watch the film.
