Previously vs. Dominican

• These two teams built quite a rivalry of late as they've met in the postseason each of the last two years.

• Last year, Dominican got past the Lions in both the regular season, 17-10, and the postseason, 15-11, meaning GCU has dropped three straight to the Chargers.

• The Rams used a second-half comeback to pick up a 16-12 win in the regular season.
