England international wing Semesa Rokoduguni scored a try eight minutes into injury time as Bath claimed a dramatic Aviva Premiership victory over west country rivals Exeter at Sandy Park.Rokoduguni produced a brilliant finish with the games final move, brushing off attempted tackles from Gareth Steenson and Olly Woodburn to enhance his claims of Test selection against South Africa on November 12.Fly-half George Ford converted and kicked two penalties, edging Bath home 13-10. Exeter have now gone five games without a win in all competitions, and a losing bonus point was scant consolation after lock Mitch Lees try nine minutes from the end looked to have been enough.Steenson kicked a penalty and conversion, while Ford atoned for two first-half penalty misses as Bath prevailed to remain in the Premierships top three behind Saracens and Wasps.Exeter boss Rob Baxter made one enforced change from the side edged out by European Champions Cup opponents Ulster eight days ago, with Dave Dennis replacing injured flanker Julian Salvi, while a number of Bath switches included returns for half-backs Ford and Kahn Fotualii, and England second-row prospect Charlie Ewels featuring at number eight.Both sides showed plenty of attacking intent during the opening quarter, but there were also a number of handling errors before Steenson kicked a 16th-minute penalty after his opposite number Ford missed an earlier chance from 30 metres out.Bath began to exert some dominance up-front, with Henry Thomas giving Exeter prop Moray Low a tough time in the scrums, but another short-range penalty miss by Ford meant the Chiefs still led despite their opponents shading possession and territory.Exeter then lost two players - hooker Jack Yeandle and full-back Lachlan Turner - to head injury assessments after they suffered knocks during the same passage of play.Elvis Taione and former Bath centre Ollie Devoto were their respective replacements. Yeandle was soon back in the action, although not before his team produced a brilliant defensive rearguard to thwart Baths try-scoring ambitions, with the visitors going through 18 phases of play, but lacking a finishing finesse.Exeter then almost punished Baths inability to score when centre Henry Slade intercepted a pass and sparked an impressive Chiefs counter-attack, only for Bath to quell the danger and then gain a penalty, which proved the final act of a one-score opening period.Bath thought they had opened their account just two minutes into the second period following a long Jonathan Joseph kick that saw Fotualii link with lock Luke Charteris before Charteris second-row partner Dave Attwood dived over the line.But referee Ian Tempest disallowed the try following consultation with television match official David Grashoff after a Fotualii pass to Charteris was ruled forward, before Ford made it third time lucky and landed an equalising penalty.The third quarter was largely plenty of huff and puff, but precious little composure inside each teams 22, and it was no surprise that it needed a penalty to get the scoreboard moving again, this time via a 45-metre strike from Ford.Exeters reply was impressive, though, and they pounced in ruthless fashion when Bath lost a lineout on their own throw, driving the visiting pack back 20 metres before Lees touched down under a pile of bodies.Steenson added the simple conversion, and Exeter regained the initiative, four points clear with just nine minutes left.Bath went for broke during the dying seconds, and it took a brilliant Slade tackle to bring down his fellow England squad member Joseph, before the visiting forwards applied relentless pressure and Rokoduguni struck deep into injury time.

Wholesale Nike Shoes . -- About a third of the way through the regular season, the Washington Wizards are at . Before the season, UCLA had the young, hot-shot quarterback that had the college football world -- and NFL scouts -- buzzing.Now, USC does.Redshirt freshman Sam Darnold is at the forefront of a Trojans resurgence that reached a peak with Saturdays 26-13 victory at previously undefeated Washington, which was No. 4 in the country. Darnold completed 22 of 33 passes for 287 yards -- the most allowed by the Huskies this season -- and two touchdowns.Darnold gets a different kind of stage this Saturday night.USC (7-3, 6-2 Pac-12) has its first six-game winning streak since 2008 as it heads into a game against struggling crosstown rival UCLA (4-6, 2-5) at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. The 10:30 p.m. ET kickoff makes it just the 11th night game in the history of the series.The Bruins are without sophomore quarterback Josh Rosen, the former No. 1 quarterback recruit who has missed four games because of a shoulder injury and wont return this season. Darnold has replaced him as the L.A. star.USC coach Clay Helton inserted Darnold as the starter, replacing Max Browne, for the fourth game of the season. The Trojans lost that day, 31-27 at Utah when the defense allowed a touchdown in the final minute, but it has been all victories since then, riding the spark that Darnold provided.He is the reigning Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Huskies, who have one of the top defensive backfields in the country. Darnold is eighth nationally in passer rating with a rating of 165.8.He has just unbelievable game maturity, Helton said.The Bruins, who are still pushing for a bowl, did end a four-game skid by beating visiting Oregon State last weekend 38-24.Its good to get a win, said Bruins coach Jim Mora. They have been hard to come by this year. These guys have stayed together and have kept a great attitude. So, they got rewarded for it. That was great.Mora said he has given away only two game balls in his nearly five seasons at UCLA. The second went to quarterback Mike Fafaul on Saturday.Fafaul, starting his fourth game in place of Rosen, completed 25 of 47 passes for 281 yards. Mora praised the fifth-year senior for sticking it out and not transferring as a graduate student.He played behind Brett (Hundley), and then Josh got the job, and he has hungg in there, Mora said.dddddddddddd Hes everything that you want in a quarterback in terms of studying the game and it being serious to him. Its just great.Fafauls challenge this week against USC will be much more difficult than it was against Oregon State. The Trojans held Washington quarterback Jake Browning to 17-of-36 passing with a pair of interceptions by cornerback Adoree Jackson.Fafaul has thrown 10 interceptions in 198 attempts, and if the Trojans could fluster Browning, what will they do to Fafaul?Darnold has had the advantage of a supporting run game -- Ronald Jones II has 487 yards on the ground in the past three games -- an All-American talent at wide receiver in junior JuJu Smith-Schuster and a veteran offensive line that has begun to play to its potential.Fafaul has had none of that. UCLAs young line has struggled, there is no game-breaker on the outside and the Bruins are second-to-last nationally in rushing at 87.2 yards per game. UCLA gave carries to five scholarship running backs last week and will try to find hot feet this week from among Bolu Olorunfunmi, Soso Jamabo, Jalen Starks, Nate Starks and Brandon Stephens.It wont be easy. USC held Washington to 17 rushing yards.Big men win the game, Helton said. On both sides of the ball, our big men are really excelling these last six weeks.UCLAs hopes rest with a solid defense that has allowed only one opponent (Utah) to score more than 27 points in regulation. Defensive end Takkarist McKinley leads the nation with 2.0 tackles per loss per game.The rivalry game wraps up the conference season for USC, which finishes at home against Notre Dame. The Trojans are a half-game behind Colorado and hold a head-to-head tiebreaker. The Buffaloes, 6-1 in the league, finish with two games against ranked teams -- Washington State and Utah.USC needs to win Saturday and have Colorado lose to have a chance to win the Pac-12 South. Utah, which is 5-2 in the Pac-12 with games left against Oregon and Colorado, holds the tiebreaker over USC.The Trojans have won 13 of the past 17 games against UCLA, although two of the victories were vacated due to NCAA sanctions. USC won 40-21 last season. ' ' '
