San Diego beats Drake 23-13

SAN DIEGO -- Mason Mills passed for three touchdowns in a 23-0 run as San Diego stormed from behind to defeat Drake 23-13 on Saturday, two days after learning the school was forfeiting a shot at the league title and a playoff bid because of financial aid violations. The Toreros (8-3, 7-1) were a contender for winning their first outright Pioneer League Football League championship -- and the automatic berth to the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs -- until USD President Mary Lyons told the assembled team on Thursday that the school was forfeiting. A review this fall had discovered the school was improperly awarding financial aid to players. Drake (6-5, 5-3) had jumped out 7-0 on a 5-yard pass from Andy Rice to Nick Rosa . Mills hit 29 of 47 passes for 287 yards in the USD comeback with touchdowns to Brandon White (1 yard), Bug Rivera (11) and Reggie Bell (2).
