The USD football team, coming off a 9-2 season and Pioneer Football League title under first year head coach Ron Caragher, will play seven of their eleven game schedule in the friendly confines of Torero Stadium. USD will kickoff its season with a rare Friday night contest on August 29th against the Marist Red foxes at 7:00 pm. USD, which was a perfect 5-0 at Torero Stadium last year, will be putting their 24-game home winning streak on the line. The Toreros will follow-up with another non-conference home contest against Azusa Pacific University on Saturday, September 6th (6 pm).
Following the first of two bye weeks on September 13th, the Toreros will begin Pioneer Football League play with back-to-back road trips to Campbell University (first year PFL member) on Sept. 20th in Buies Creek, North Carolina, followed by a trip to Des Moines, Iowa on September 27th to take on the Drake Bulldogs.
The month of October will kickoff with USD's annual homecoming game on the 4th against Valparaiso University (2 pm), with the Morehead State Eagles coming to San Diego a week later on the 11th (6 pm). Following their second bye, San Diego will close out the month of October at Jacksonville on the 25th. November will see the Toreros play three of their final four regular-season games at Torero Stadium - Dayton (Nov. 1st, 6 pm), Butler (Nov. 15th, 6 pm) and UC Davis (Nov. 22nd, 6 pm) all come to town. The lone road game will be at Davidson on the 8th.
The Toreros will begin camp on August 4th. Approximately 45 players and 15 starters return from last year's club. For information on tickets, go to www.usdtoreros.com or call 619.260.7550.
