SAN DIEGO, CALIF. – Down 31-27 and looking for the go-ahead score, Campbell held a first and goal with 1:10 remaining after a San Diego personal foul, but Jamal Agnew intercepted Kameron Bryant's pass to preserve the Torero lead and extend their home Pioneer Football League winning streak to 22 games.

San Diego improved to 7-2 overall and 5-1 in conference play, staying in the PFL race with two games remining. Campbell dipped to 5-5 on the season and 3-4 in PFL play. All four of Campbell's four PFL losses have come by a combined 12 points.

Campbell forced a USD punt with 2:20 on the clock, with Greg Milhouse coming up with a sack on third and eight from the 50 yard line.

CU picked up first downs on its first three plays of the critical drive, with Bryant completing a 10 yard pass to Ben Bolling and a 26 yard strike to Andre Davis, also running for a 12 yard gain before the face mask call put the Camels inside the USD 10.

The Toreros were able to run out the clock, taking the ball on their own two with 1:05 remaining.

Anthony Lawrence completed 15-of-25 passes with a touchdown and two interceptions for the Toreros, with Justin Priest hauling in four catches for 72 yards. Jonah Hodges posted 79 yards on the ground, while Dallas Kessman tacked on two rushing TDs.

Jereke Armstrong's first touchdown run of the afternoon brought San Diego within one at the 14:23 mark of the second quarter, but the extra point was missed, preserving a 14-13 Campbell lead.

Kameron Bryant's 55 yard strike to Aaron Blockmon extended the Campbell lead to 21-13, but Dallas Kessman found the end zone for the Toreros with 3:45 to go in the opening half, bringing USD within a point again.

Daniel McManus' 50 yard field goal with 10 seconds to play in the first half gave the Toreros a 23-21 lead heading into the break.
