The old adage, “defense wins championships,” held true on Saturday as the University of San Diego’s defensive unit made sure that 13 points was all the Toreros needed to begin their pursuit of a seventh straight Pioneer Football League title with a win. USD allowed Drake only 25 yards of total offense and three first downs all game, and the Bulldogs’ two scoring drives both came after San Diego’s offense coughed up the ball.
Head coach Dale Lindsey called the game, “an outstanding day for the defense, a very average day for the offense.”
“The positive is that we won,” Lindsey said.
