The Toledo Rockets opened their 2022 campaign Thursday night, welcoming the Long Island Sharks of the FCS to the Glass Bowl. It took the Rockets some time to find their footing offensively, but Dequan Finn and company hit their stride in the second quarter en route to an emphatic 37-0 victory.
It was a slow start for both squads. After trading punts on the first two drives of the game, both offenses opted to go for it on fourth down on their respective second drives— with both failing to convert. The teams traded possession until the end of the quarter, when a 43-yard field goal from Thomas Cluckey gave the Rockets a 3-0 lead.
