KICKOFF CAPSULE Setting the Scene: San Diego makes a third trip to the Division I Football Championship in the past four seasons, this time traveling to Flagstaff, Arizona for an opening-round contest against Northern Arizona. The Toreros return after becoming the first Pioneer Football League team to win a contest in the tournament, downing Cal Poly in the opening round last season. They were the only road team to win in the 2016 championship’s opening round. San Diego Story to Watch: Protect Lawrence. Junior quarterback Anthony Lawrence is one of the FCS’ most efficient passers, ranking among the FCS Top 5 in completion percentage (4th), passing efficiency (4th) and passing touchdowns (2nd). However, in the Toreros two losses, Lawrence was harassed taking two sacks at UC Davis and a sack and nine hurries at Princeton. In addition, the San Diego ground game suffered its two lowest yardage totals of the season, further increasing the pressure on Lawrence. That said, San Diego’s offensive line has allowed just six sacks this season – second fewest in the FCS – and the ground game has improved and enters the postseason ranked No. 40 among FCS teams. Northern Arizona State Story to Watch: Cookus Cooking. On the other side of the field, the Lumberjacks boast their own sharpshooter under center in sophomore Case Cookus, who enters the postseason ranked No. 10 in passing yardage (3,235) despite missing the bulk of the Lumberjacks game at Montana. In fact, NAU’s three FCS losses this season have coincidentally occurred in games where Cookus has been held under 250 passing yards: Western Illinois (221), at Montana (44) and at Southern Utah (246).

His first interception came on the second quarter’s first play and ended a Marist drive that moved inside San Diego 30yard line. His 57-yard return of the pick then set up a San Diego scoring drive at the Marist 20-yard line. Tolbert’s second interception came in the third quarter just as Marist entered San Diego territory and helped flip field position. Later in the game, he had a key pass breakup on fourth down to keep Marist at bay. Tolbert also had nine tackles (eight solo) in the contest.

Donley hit a career-best 48 yard field goal and scored 10 points in Drake’s 52-7 PFL victory against Jacksonville, Saturday.

c – co-champions # - Jacksonville vacated its 2010 co-championship as part of penalties for PFL rules violations. Notes on PFL Championship: From 1993-2000 – and returning to the format in 2005 – the PFL was composed of one division and the championship was awarded to the team with the best conference record. From 2001-2005, the league expanded and split into two divisions with the divisional winners, who were the teams with the best record against divisional opponents, facing off in a championship game, the winner of that game was awarded the league’s championship.

NOTES: The PFL records on this page reflect PFL penalties imposed against Jacksonville (# - vacated 30 wins during the 2010-14 seasons) and San Diego (% - vacated 7 wins during the 2013 season). In accordance with NCAA policy, the wins and ties, but not the losses, of the penalized team are dropped from its PFL record only. The won-lost records for each of the opposing teams are not changed when games are vacated. In addition, the overall records for both teams were not changed.
