3. Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s TD-INT ratio is 4:1

Despite the rough start to the season, Chip Kelly has indicated that he will be sticking with Dorian Thompson-Robinson as the starting quarterback for the Bruins.

So far, Thompson-Robinson has completed just over 56 percent of his passes for 1,243 yards. However, 504 of these yards came in that high scoring match against the Washington State Cougars. This means, he is only averaging 184 yards per game in the other four games. Simply, this is not good.

However, the Bruins will play two of their three October games in Westwood. Thompson-Robinson will undoubtedly be more comfortable at home, which will only improve his passing performance.

Look for the sophomore quarterback to throw 12 touchdowns across these three game against Oregon State, Stanford and Arizona State, and only throw a maximum of three interceptions.
