Defense plays important role in first win of season

The University of San Diego football team found its first win of the season on Saturday, Oct. 2, beating the St. Thomas University Tommies 27-24. This was the first time the two teams have played each other.

The USD coaching staff made a few offensive changes coming into the game, most notably starting graduate student and backup quarterback, Judd Erickson, over their usual starting quarterback, graduate student, Mason Randall. Head coach, Dale Lindsey, explained his choice to change their starter.

“We were 0-4. Mason hadn’t exactly resembled Bart Starr. We thought we’d give somebody else a chance, bring some life to the program,” Lindsey said.
