Shane Dunning boots 48-yarder and Drake beats San Diego on final play for second straight year

Drake led 27-9 early in the fourth quarter after Luke Bailey hit Mitchell January with a 36-yard touchdown pass.

San Diego then rallied with a touchdown, a field goal, a safety and another touchdown to lead 28-27. The go-ahead score was a 5-yard pass from Grant Sergent to Peyton Smith on a fourth-down play with about 6 minutes remaining but Sergent threw incomplete on a two-point conversion try.

The Bulldogs turned the ball over on downs on their next possession, then forced a punt and got the ball back at their own 7-yard line with 44 seconds left. Bailey's completions of 34 yards to January and 22 yards to Taj Hughes helped Drake reach USD's 31-yard line with 5 seconds remaining. Dunning then blasted the winning kick, his third field goal of the game.
