Same old story for USD in loss Santa Barbara survives rally "He made a quick move to the inside, and when I turned around, there was the ball. It was a well-thrown ball. It would1lave been a touchdown.'' The Gauchos took over at their 41 with 6:04 to play and drove 59 yards on nine plays for the winning score, a 12-yard touchdown pass fro~ qu~rt· erback Mike Curtius to Kevm Kmg with 2:11 to play.

Instead, it was an interception and evened the Toreros' record at 4-4. They travel to Azusa Pacific for the final game of the seasoo on Saturday. interception stopped a drive that began at the USD 34-yard line with 2:04 left to play. The Toreros converted a key fourth-and-7 with an 11-yard pass to Sam McDer- mott and were aided by two Gauchos personal foul penalties on the drive. USD had a chance to put the game out of reach one drive earlier. Lead- ing 10-6, USD defensive back Darryl Jackson intercepted a pass at the UCSB 28-yard line and returned it to the 3. "When we take an interception to the 2-yard line, we should win the game," USD coach Brian Fogarty said. ''We have to be able to punch that ball into the end zone." Ability or not, the Toreros_offense didn't. Two clipping pena 1t1es con· tributed to USD settling for a 46-yard field-goal attempt, which was blocked. UCSB is 5-4 Scher's

Curtius completed 25 of 40 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns but was intercepted four times. Doug Piper was 15-of-26 for 172 yards but was sacked eight times and threw four interceptions. • The Gauchos led, 6-3, at halftime, as both offenses struggled. UCSB took a 6-0 lead on its first possession on a Curtius-to-Amahl Thomas 18-yard pass with 10 minutes left in the first quarter. The touch- down finished a 71-yard, 10-play drive. The point-after attempt was wide left. USD cut the lead to 6-3 on a 42· yard field goal by Jim Morrison with 2:34 left in the first quarter. The Toreros took a 10-6 \ead on the open• ing drive of the third quarter, driving 55 yards on 11 plays. Running back Todd Jackson ended the drive with a 5-yard touchdown run with 9:35 left in t1'e third quarter. L...

The Universily_Qf Sao Diego bas developed · a pattern of suffering heartbreaking defeats. In each loss this season, the Tore~os have_ been within a successful fmal series of winning. . That dubious distinction remained intact yesterday afternoon, as USD lost to UC Santa Barbara, 13-10, be- fore an overflow homecoming crowd of 4,000 in " Division 1U game at USD. The Toreros drove to the Gauchos' 14-yard line with 41 seconds left but were turned back by a divmg inter• ception in the end zone by safety Bryan Seber. On the pl_ay, USD qu~rt- erback Doug Piper tried o hit tight end David Nottoli, who was runmng a slant pattern to the middle of the end zone. The pass appeared to be on target, but Seber reacted quickly and saved the game. "I was covering (Nottoli) the whole second half and was trying to keep him to the outside of me," Scher said.
