Toledo and BYU have only settled it on the field once in their program histories, but it only took one Friday night in Provo to create everlasting history between the Rockets and Cougars.
Rhett Almond’s 19-yard field goal sunk through the uprights at LaVell Edwards Stadium as the clock dwindled down to triple zeros, marking a chaotic, memorable 55-53 win for BYU. Toledo nearly seized victory with 1:11 left when Kareem Hunt ran seven yards for a touchdown and the Rockets converted on a jaw-dropping 2-point attempt, which involved quarterback Logan Woodside fumbling the snap, picking up the football, and instantly releasing it toward the end zone to tight end Michael Roberts.
