In 2011 Toledo played Air Force and I believe it came in at 5th or so for best game of the bowl season. Air Force faked a PAT to go ahead by 1 to end the game and they fumbled it out of the endzone. Toledo won 42-41.

Toledo had many big plays. A pick 6. A punt return for a TD (by our All American returner), and some big hits. Neither teams had spectacular records but both played crazy schedules. Toledo played #4 Boise State, UNH (final four FCS), @Syracuse (called the worst review of a play ever), and @Ohio State (refs reprimanded).

Some people think that was the most explosive team ever at UT. Bad Defense, but amazing at causing turnovers.





I don't think this years game will be a fireworks display, more so just two good teams pinned up against eachother, with one team doing something late to seal a close victory. If we have a top10 game again this year, I wouldn't be surprised but it has to be because someone was watching good football, and not a fun shootout.

Rockets averaged 7.2 yards per play this season vs 6.4 yards in 2011.
Toledo surpassed its Total Offense yardage for 2011 this season.

Defensively and special teams-wise, that team was more explosive all over the field. This offense is better than that offense for sure.

I'm getting pretty excited. And as of Saturday, although my freshman year at App was 2001, I can holler GO MOUNTAINEERS as an alumni. Come on boys!
