In the always-competitive Pioneer Football League (PFL), one loss within the conference can sink a team’s hopes of advancing to the Football Championship Series (FCS) playoff.
Luckily for the University of San Diego, their win on Saturday, Sept. 24 against the University of Dayton Flyers brought the Toreros’ record against conference foes to 1-0. The Flyers entered the game at Torero Stadium as the defending conference champions and winners of 12 of their previous 15 games. They left with the bitter taste of defeat in their mouths after USD pulled out a 34-22 win in front of 2,119 fans.
