Toreros Top Presbyterian

San Diego defeated the first-time opponents 24-21

CLINTON, S.C.—San Diego turned in its second consecutive game with 400+ yards of offense in a 24-21 victory against Presbyterian on Saturday afternoon in Bailey Memorial Stadium.
 
The Toreros (3-0, 2-0 PFL) recorded 425 yards of offense and ate up 35:00 of clock in their first meeting with the Blue Hose (1-3) who joined the PFL this spring as part of a scheduling agreement. The win does not count towards USD's FCS-record league win streak but does count towards PFL standings.
 
Mason Randall recorded his second-striaght 300+ yard game, finishing 23-of-34 for 301 yards with two touchdowns. Emilio Martinez set a new career high with 295 all-purpose yards, rushing 22 times for 124 yards on the ground and hauling in six catches for 75 yards.
 
Michael Carner finished with 107 yards on nine catches and a touchdown, while Derek Kline added 58 yards on four catches and another USD touchdown.
 
Kama Kamaka led the way defensively with eight tackles (six solo), including one tackle for a loss of two yards. Kyle Bilchik also finished with a team-high eight tackles (four solo), while Chris Reese recorded San Diego's only interception, adding 0.5 sacks for a loss of 1 yard and a quarterback hurry.
 
The Toreros got on the board first, when cornerback Amir Wallace forced a fumble and ran it back for a 23-yard touchdown with 10:26 in the first quarter. Brandon Eickert tacked on a 23-yard field goal at 3:39 to give USD a 10-0 lead late in the first quarter.
 
PC answered on the next play with a 75-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Thompson to Keith Pearson to make it 10-7, Toreros heading into the second quarter.
 
The teams traded possessions for much of the second quarter before Chris Reece intercepted a Blue Hose pass on the Presbyterian 34 yard-line to put USD is excellent field position with 25 seconds left in the half. After a 21-yard rush from Martinez put the Toreros in the red zone, Carner capped off the quick drive with a four-yard touchdown reception to put USD up 17-7 heading into the halftime break.
 
The third quarter remained scoreless until Randall connected with Kline on a 14-yard touchdown strike to give USD a comfortable 24-7 lead.
 
Presbyterian continued to fight in the fourth quarter, making it a two-score game with 14-yard touchdown pass from Thompson with 11:26 remaining. PC made things interesting with an 80-yard touchdown pass with under a minute remaining to make it 24-21.
 
However, the Toreros took care of business, recovering the onside kick in the final seconds and ran out the clock for their third victory of the season.
 
Up next, the Toreros will return to Torero Stadium for a two-game homestand. USD will look to set the FCS record for consecutive league wins when it plays host to Davidson on Saturday at 12 p.m. (PT)
