Dayton Answers San Diego's Late Lead and Wins 37-32
San Diego was ahead for exactly 35 seconds. Adam Criter ran in from 7 yards with 1:32 left and Dom Nankil hit Cole Monach on the two-point try, which made it 32-31. Then Bryce Schondelmyer threw a 14-yard touchdown to Gavin Lochow with 57 seconds to go, and Dayton won 37-32. The two-point try failed, but it did not matter.
San Diego opened with a field goal and a 5-yard Criter run for a 10-0 lead. Dayton needed 13 seconds of game clock to answer: LeRoy Lewis IV returned the kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown, 10-7. Mason Hackett ran in from 4 yards early in the second, Lochow caught a 10-yarder from Schondelmyer, and Lochow opened the third with a 56-yard run. That was 28-10, and Dayton had outscored San Diego 28-0 in a stretch that started with the return.
San Diego did not fold. Elijah Taylor caught a 39-yard touchdown from Nankil, Criter scored twice more, and San Diego pulled to within a point before Lochow's catch. The passing game was huge: San Diego threw for 471 yards, and Taylor caught 15 passes for 204 of them. It was not enough. Dayton rushed 18 times for 138 yards and its defense sacked San Diego twice, though it also lost two fumbles.
Dayton improves to 4-1 and San Diego drops to 3-5. Take away that last 14-yard throw and San Diego wins 32-31 on a two-point conversion (the clock just did not cooperate).
For fantasy, Lochow led all scorers with 42.9 points. Taylor was close behind at 41.4, and Criter scored three rushing touchdowns for 27.9.
