Oregon Road Conditions & Cams Email Story to a Friend September 11, 2005 San Diego romps over Raiders SAN DIEGO — The University of San Diego football team handed Southern Oregon University one of the worst football setbacks in program history Saturday afternoon in the season opener at Torero Stadium. The NCAA Div. I-AA Toreros had seven different players score touchdowns and rolled up 458 offensive yards in a 51-0 blanking of the NAIA Raiders — the Ashland school’s most lopsided setback since 1970, and the fourth-worst loss in the program’s 72-year history. San Diego (2-0) limited SOU to minus-43 rushing yards as a result of six quarterback sacks, and the Raiders finished with 64 yards of total offense on 49 plays in the school’s fourth consecutive setback dating back to last season. Sophomore quarterback Josh Johnson keyed the Torero attack by going 21-for-29 for 174 yards and two touchdowns, while redshirt-freshman running back J.T. Rogan amassed 100 yards on 19 carries. San Diego scored on its first two possessions, including a 3rd-and-18 TD pass from Jackson to all-star receiver Nick Garton on its opening salvo, and the lead swelled to 16-0 when a SOU punt snap sailed over Steve Palmer and out of the end zone for a safety with 43 seconds left in the first quarter. Advertisement The Raiders countered with one of three penetrations into Torero territory, but the drive stalled at the 33 when starting quarterback Justin Despotakis, who finished 8-for-19 for 56 yards, was swarmed over on a 4th-and-6 pass play. Sophomore Dan Downey replaced Despotakis with 2:10 to go in the third quarter and completed 4 of 7 passes for 30 yards and was sacked once. Trailing 51-0 with 3:47 to play, SOU sophomore Boomer Marshall entered the game and advanced the Raiders to the USD 30 until Joe Staab came up with an interception. Marshall finished 2-for-3 for 21 yards. Senior tailback Curt Stout caught a career-high four passes (for 51 yards) for the Raiders, while linebackers Taylor Hermes and Chad Harrell each compiled 12 tackles. Junior cornerback Madison Caeser intercepted a pass to thwart a Torero drive late in the second quarter. Southern Oregon, which suffered a 51-10 thumping at San Diego last season, plays host to Humboldt State in its home opener next Saturday at 6 p.m. At San Diego Southern Oregon 0 0 0 0 —0 San Diego 16 7 14 14 —51 SD — Garton 18 pass from Johnson (Parker kick) SD — Herron 2 run (Parker kick) SD — Safety, fumble out of the end zone SD — Johnson 5 run (Parker kick) SD — Doyle 28 pass from Johnson (Parker kick) SD — Polk 1 run (Parker kick) SD — D.

Senior defenders Kristen Lilly and Haley Phillips each tallied four service winners to help the eighth-ranked Raiders (10-3, 2-1 Cascade Conference) roll to the 30-20, 30-17, 30-13 league win. The old record of 18 aces was set in a five-game loss to Northwest Nazarene in 1997. Led by senior Nicholette Le Bel (nine kills in 13 swings, .615) and freshman Mia Wortel (8-for-13, .615), SOU went 42-for-95 with only 11 errors, a .326 clip. Sophomore hitter Jaclyn Hamilton-Smith finished with six kills in 12 tries (.500) without an error.
