SAN DIEGO – San Diego returns to action after its bye week and begins Pioneer Football League play when it hosts Stetson on Saturday at 2 p.m. PT at Walter J. Zable Field at Torero Stadium.
 
The Toreros (1-2) will look to get back in the win column after dropping its past two games on the road at UC Davis and Harvard. USD will take on an undefeated Hatters (3-0, 1-0 PFL) team that is coming off a, 19-14, victory against Marist last week.
 
The game will be streamed via theW.tv and live statistics will be available via USDToreros.com.
 
BRIAN FOGARTY PFL CLASSIC
• Saturday's game will be the second annual Brian Fogarty PFL Classic, honoring USD's former head football coach and development member who spent over 34 years with the Toreros. Fogarty will be in attendance and be a part of the pregame coin toss.
 
•  Fogarty became USD's ninth head coach in 1983 and stayed in that role for 13 seasons. Following the 1995 season he stepped away as the program's all-time winningest coach with 71 career victories before moving into athletics development.
 
•  Fogarty strung together eight straight winning seasons between 1986 and 1994, and during a four-year run beginning in 1989 compiled a 28-9 record. In 1993 he guided the Toreros into the Pioneer Football League – the nation's only non-scholarship, football-only NCAA Football Championship Subdivision conference.
 
• Along with over 21 years of service in athletics development, Fogarty served the university and athletic department with distinction. He made a positive impact on thousands of USD student-athletes, staff members, alumni and friends.
