PASADENA, Calif. -- Sam Darnold was using his laptop at the team hotel to watch the game that would determine whether Southern Californias Pac-12 title hopes were still alive when he heard cheers indicating that Oregon had scored a last-second touchdown to upset Utah.It turns out Darnolds feed was delayed by a few seconds compared with what his teammates were viewing. It also was one of the few times Darnold was a step slower than everyone else on Saturday, when the redshirt freshman quarterback left rival UCLA utterly baffled.Darnold threw for 267 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions to lead the No. 12 Trojans (8-3, 7-2 Pac-12) to their seventh consecutive win, a 36-14 victory over UCLA . Darnold also rushed for 27 yards, while his ability to extend plays with his mobility offered a striking role reversal from when Bruins quarterback Brett Hundley gave USC fits from 2012-14.I tell you, the creativity that Sam brings was evident, USC coach Clay Helton said.UCLA coach Jim Mora went one step further before comparing Darnold to Tony Romo.A guy as mobile as he is, as heady as he is, keeping his eyes down the field the way that he can, thats what makes him special, Mora said. Ive seen him on film and on TV, and I had a lot of respect for him coming into this game. In person, hes a truly special one.Despite the injury to quarterback Josh Rosen and poor play of the rushing offense, UCLAs defense had played well in a disappointing season. But Darnold was able to run away from and through a defense featuring Takkarist McKinley, Eddie Vanderdoes and Kenny Young, all likely future NFL players.Even Darnolds second interception was more about what he could do, rather than what UCLA could do to stop him. He evaded pressure repeatedly before heaving a ball into the end zone, where it was picked off by Jayon Brown.A similar throw put USC ahead midway through the second quarter, with Darnold putting the ball up for DeQuan Hampton to make a 31-yard touchdown reception. The seldom-used senior receiver boxed out Randall Goforth and extended his arms for the score.That fearlessness is what led USC coaches to elevate Darnold to the starting job after three games in hopes of energizing a sluggish offense.Hes going to push the envelope, offensive coordinator Tee Martin said. Hes going to push the defense and see how much he can get. Like a kid, hes going to play around that stove until he gets burned. Youre going to have to live with some of the mistakes.Id rather him make the mistakes trying to make a play than to play scared, so we just got to live with it.But those mistakes have ended up fueling USCs surge. Darnold forces opposing defenses to account for him as a runner, helping free up space for running backs Ronald Jones and Justin Davis. USC has had a 100-yard rusher in all but two games with Darnold as the starter, while Davis rushed for 92 yards against Colorado and Jones had 93 at Washington in those wins over top 10 teams.We got like a double-edged sword, Jones said. Its great.Darnold has also spread the ball around in the passing game, with 11 different receivers catching balls against UCLA. Helton attributes Darnolds ball distribution to playing point guard in high school basketball.Combine those attributes with a surging defense, and USC would have a strong case for a berth in a New Years Six bowl game with another rivalry win over Notre Dame next week. If the Utes defeat the Buffaloes, USC would win the Pac-12 South on the head-to-head tiebreaker and play for the conference title for the second straight year.Defensive tackle Stevie Tuikolovatu, a graduate transfer from Utah, said he would be cheering super-hard for his friends and former teammates. Tuikolovatu also said he might send Ducks quarterback Justin Herbert a gift to thank him for upsetting Utah.Hes the playmaker today, Tuikolovatu said of Herbert.Everyone that was at the Rose Bowl, however, would say that title belongs to Darnold.Said Martin: Hes still a freshman and I like that part about our future.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 Osta Nike Air Max .

Major League Baseball uniforms will look a bit different in the postseason, as the New Era logo will be added to the left side of each players cap beginning with the wild-card games, the manufacturer confirmed to ESPNs Darren Rovell.The logo will remain throughout the postseason and become a permanent fixture in 2017.New Eras logo routinely appears on the side of minor league baseball caps and those worn for other sports, such as NFL sideline caps. It also appears on a variety of fashion caps created exclusively for retail sale. Until now, however, MLBs policy has been to avoid having the manufacturers logo on its on-field headwear.The inclusion of the logo, which had been rumored since last week, was first reported by Sportslogos.net.The addition will give MLB uniforms the most wide-ranging portfolio of manufacturer marks among the major North American pro sports leagues. Along with the New Era mark, a typical MLB player will also be wearing the logos of Majestic (jersey and pants), Nike (undershirt collar) and Stance (socks), in addition to manufacturer logos on shoes, batting gloves and otther equipment.ddddddddddddThe move is also the latest step in the transformation of MLB caps into a vehicle for showcasing logos and patches. MLBs familiar silhouetted-batter logo was added to the back of all game caps in 1992, and the New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves became the first two teams to wear the World Series logo on their caps in 1996. Since then, MLB caps have featured a variety of commemorative patches and logos, which had previously been positioned exclusively on jersey sleeves.The New Era logo has appeared on game caps at least once in the past. On April 20, 2005, the San Diego Padres wore a camouflage jersey with an olive cap featuring the companys mark. The Padres and New Era both said at the time that the logo-clad caps had been sent to the team by mistake and that nobody realized the error until just before the game.The first postseason game featuring the new caps will be the American League wild-card game, scheduled to take place on Oct. 4.
