Offense Shines as Toreros Rout Eagles

Anthony Lawrence surpasses 10,000 career passing yards in 51-34 victory

MOREHEAD, Ky. – Six different Toreros found the end zone on Saturday, when San Diego dominated Morehead State in a 51-34 victory at Jayne Stadium in Morehead, Ky. 
 
Anthony Lawrence spread the wealth, throwing five touchdown passes to five different USD receivers. Michael Bandy, Christian Brooks, Cooper Hagmaier, Emilio Martinez and Dalton Kincaid each had a touchdown grab as Lawrence racked up 354 passing yards on the day.
 
Lawrence finished the day 19 of 30 for 354 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Toreros (3-2, 2-0 PFL) to their 23rd consecutive PFL win. Lawrence surpassed 10,000 career passing yards in the process. 
 The Torero backfield also had a productive day with two touchdowns on the ground. In addition to a 74-yard touchdown reception, Emilio Martinez punched one in from 10 yards out and finished the day with 13 carries and 160 all-purpose yards. Terrence Smith also found the end zone on a 3-yard rush for his fourth touchdown of the season.
 
Zach Nelson made big plays to get the Toreros in scoring position, recording three catches for 95 yards and Michael Bandy finished the day with six catches for 65 yards and a touchdown.
 
The special teams unit had a strong day, wreaking havoc on the Eagles (1-4, 0-2 PFL) kicking game. Daniel Cooney blocked a Morehead State field goal to end the first half and Zeke Downs disrupted an extra point attempt midway through the third quarter.
 
Anthony Ellison also blocked a punt on the Eagles first drive of the second half. Kim Mahoney recovered to set the Toreros up on the MSU 4-yard line.
 
Aaron Laut, Connor Spencer and the defensive line put pressure on Eagles quarterback Lawson Page all afternoon, including three sacks and four hurries. 
 
Jack Michael and Kama Kamaka both recorded a team-high 11 tackles and two solo efforts for the Torero defense, while Daniel Tolbert added three solo tackles, including one tackle for loss and was credited with two pass breakups.
 
The Toreros return home next Saturday to celebrate USD Homecoming and Family Weekend when they take on Dayton at 2 p.m. at Torero Stadium.
