BOZEMAN, MONT. — Judd Erickson tossed his first touchdown pass of the season and Emilio Martinez rushed his way into the USD record books, but San Diego football dropped a 52-10 decision to No. 13 Montana State on Saturday afternoon at Bobcat Stadium as the Toreros completed one of the most difficult non-conference schedules in program history.

USD got on the board late in the third quarter when Erickson threw a 19-yard completion to tight end Michael Gadinis, also marking Gadinis' first score of the year. Erickson, who entered for starting quarterback Mason Randall (7-17, 41 yards, two interceptions) in the third quarter, was 5-9 with 81 yards, the touchdown, and no interceptions.

Martinez led the way for the Toreros on the ground with 27 total yards, which vaulted him into second place all-time for career rushing yards in USD football history as his 2,823 yards passed Jonah Hodges and Evan Harney's mark of 2,809. 

Freshman Ja'seem Reed had USD's longest rushing play of the day at 15 yards, while Christian Brown, Martinez, and Michael Carner each recorded receptions of 20 yards or more, totaling 38, 25, and 22 total receiving yards, respectively. 

On the defensive side of things, Will Buck notched the Toreros' lone sack of the day, which was good for an 11-yard loss. David Ambagtsheer and Amir Wallace each racked up eight total tackles (four solo for Ambagtsheer, five solo for Wallace), Wallace had two pass breakups, and Cassius Johnson chipped in with a pass breakup of his own.

Kicker Brandon Eickert punched in USD's second and final score of the day in the fourth quarter, a 28-yard field goal that moved the score to 52-10.

The Toreros are back in action on Saturday, September 25 when they begin Pioneer Football League (PFL) play at Davidson. Kickoff at Richardson Stadium is set for 9 a.m. PST.
