Briggs: As season crashes to end, Toledo football is on the clock

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — Imagine the Toledo football season as a very large hill.

Call it — I don’t know — Mount Unpleasant.

After spending the first half of the season scaling the mountain, the Rockets reportedly put on two left cleats, took turns spinning around a dizzy bat, and let gravity take it from there.

Mercifully, they reached the bottom Friday, their tumble ending in a 49-7 loss to Central Michigan that was over before Toledo got off the bus.

Rarely will you see a team appear more ready to pack in a season.
