DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Anthony Lawrence passed for 227 yards and a touchdown and added two short TD runs to propel San Diego to a 27-10 victory over Drake in Pioneer Football League play on Saturday.

San Diego has now won a FCS-best 21 straight home games. The Toreros also have a 27-game win streak in PFL play and a 36-game win streak in conference home games.

Lawrence ran it in from 2 yards out and scored on a 1-yard plunge to give the Toreros (7-2, 6-0) a 13-0 first-quarter lead. The Bulldogs (4-3, 3-2) got on the scoreboard when Jeran Proctor picked off Lawrence and raced 27 yards for a touchdown to make it 13-7. Terrence Smith scored on a 5-yard run late in the second quarter to push San Diego's advantage to 20-7 at the half.

Lawrence capped the scoring for the Toreros with a 42-yard scoring strike to Michael Bandy just 3 minutes into the third quarter. Bandy, who leads the nation in receiving yards, finished with five catches for 70 yards.
