<p>San Diego no longer has an NFL team, but football is still strong in the city.</p>
<p>The San Diego Toreros (3-0, 2-0 Pioneer Football League) will try to break the Football Championship Subdivision record for consecutive victories against conference opponents when they face Davidson (3-1, 2-0) on Saturday.</p>
<p>The Toreros tied Duquesne’s mark of 39 consecutive league victories two weeks ago with a 27-13 triumph over Butler. Quarterback Mason Randall threw for 302 yards and two touchdowns, leading an offense that outgained the Bulldogs 475-247. </p>
<p>Duquesne set its mark in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference from 1999-2006. San Diego’s last PFL loss was a 13-12 setback at Dayton on Oct. 10, 2015.</p>
<p>A victory against the Wildcats would tie Nebraska for the second-longest conference winning streak in Division I history, and leave the Toreros four games shy of tying Oklahoma’s record of 44, established from 1952-59.</p>
<p>San Diego coach Dale Lindsey said Wednesday he only learned of the streak recently and that if his players are aware of it, “they didn’t hear it from us."</p>
<p>Lindsey said the streak is not the coaching staff’s priority, saying, “Our focus is always on the current game.”</p>
<p>BREAK UP THE KEYDETS</p>
<p>Virginia Military Institute is 5-0 for the first time since 1960 and got there after a wild finish in Spartanburg, South Carolina, a 36-31 victory over Wofford.</p>
<p>The Keydets led 30-24 after Jerry Rice’s 28-yard field goal with 1:58 to play, but the lead lasted just 15 seconds because Wofford quarterback Jimmy Weirick connected with Landon Parker for a 75-yard touchdown pass on the next play.</p>
<p>That left the game in the hands of redshirt freshman quarterback Seth Morgan. He made his first career start because Reece Udinski, who became the school’s career passing leader a week earlier, was sidelined with an injury.</p>
<p>Morgan needed just 63 seconds to drive 79 yards and capped the winning drive with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Jakob Herres, their third TD connection of the game. The victory boosted VMI to No. 10 in the STATS Perform FBC Top 25.</p>
<p>Morgan threw for 375 yards. Herres caught 15 passes for 207 yards.</p>
<p>The victory also ensured that the Keydets will have their first winning season since 1981.</p>
<p>“I’ve had more than my fair share of close games throughout my time here at VMI,” said coach Scott Wachenheim, whose record at VMI is 16-45. “Fortunately we’re finding a way to make one more play than our opponents.”</p>
<p>The Keydets will host East Tennessee State (3-1, 3-1) on Saturday.</p>
<p>FRANTIC FINISH</p>
<p>Weber State looked like they were about suffer another loss.</p>
<p>Northern Arizona’s Keondre Wudtee had capped a 95-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run, giving the Lumberjacks a 23-22 lead with 17 seconds remaining on Saturday. A penalty against NAU moved the ball to the 50 after the ensuing kickoff, and two incompletions by backup quarterback Randall Johnson had the Wildcats down to their last play with 0:02 on the clock.</p>
<p>Johnson made the most of it, hitting tight end Justin Malone with at least six defenders around him in the end zone for an unlikely 28-23 victory.</p>
<p>FOR THE RECORD</p>
<p>Kody Wilstead threw for 282 yards and tied the Dixie State record with five touchdown passes in the Trailblazers’ 60-0 victory against Fort Lewis. … Eastern Washington set a school record for yards (447) and points (45) in a half in its 62-10 victory against Cal Poly. Eric Barriere threw three touchdown passes and Gunner Talkington threw for two more for the Eagles (3-1, 3-1 Big Sky Conference). </p>
