Benching a quarterback sends a message to them that they are not doing what is required for the team. Unfortunately, sometimes you should let a player fight through their struggles. This is the path the UCLA football team should take in light of mediocre quarterback play.
There is a reason freshman quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson has been starting the last three games. Okay, two reasons. First off, grad transfer Wilton Speight is recovering from an injury sustained in Game 1. Secondly, DTR is clearly the best player for the job.
It might be hard to fathom keeping him in the game considering how unimpressive the Bruins’ offense has been, but it cannot be ignored that UCLA has shown signs of life.
