Saugus quarterback Desi Rodriguez is seemingly willing his team into the semifinals.

Two plays after his 24-yard weaving touchdown run was called back on a holding penalty, Rodriguez rolled left and threw the go-ahead touchdown pass for a 35-28 lead with 2:33 remaining at College of the Canyons.

Daniel Cordova recovered a fumble on Thousand Oaks’ ensuing possession and the Centurions have the ball inside the Lancers’ 10-yard line looking to put the game away.

In another Northern Division quarterfinal, Valencia leads host Westlake 55-26 with less than two minutes left.
