Flashes Hot Start Doesn't Last at Toledo

TOLEDO- The Golden Flashes jumped out to an early lead but the hometown Rockets rallied for a 52-31 victory at the Glass Bowl on Saturday afternoon.

The Flashes started lighting fast in this one, scoring on each of their first three drives. Marquez Cooper and Collin Schlee capped off the first two drives with their first of two first-half rushing touchdowns. Sandwiched in between the scores was a solid three-and-out by the defense, putting the Flashes up 14-0 early. Montre Miller made a huge defensive play on the Rockets' second series, stripping and recovering the ball at the Toledo 19 yard line, setting up a short field for the offense.
