San Diego Slides But Stays In The Picture

Eleven spots is a long fall. San Diego drops from #7 to #18, and that kind of slide will get a coaching staff's attention faster than anything on a whiteboard. But here's the thing — 13-3-3 is still a record most programs would frame. Three losses and three draws across a full season is the work of a team that competes every night out.

The trend is down, no question. But the floor here is sturdy. San Diego isn't a team fading into irrelevance — it's a team that needs to find its edge again. The talent and the body of work are real. The question now is whether the Toreros tighten up and climb back, or let the slide define them.
