If Lyford wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played San Diego, they should've done a better job of containing Nicholas Luera.

Luera was just one part of a punishing run game: San Diego was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 332 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
When it comes to explaining why Lyford lost, don't look at Adrian Chavez. Despite the final result, he rushed for 51 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 30 receiving yards.

Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 44.7 points per game.
