Briggs: Maybe this Toledo football team is what we should have expected after dispiriting loss

In the end, Toledo football probably is what we should have expected.

A good team with a fatal flaw.

You might say the wheels came off in the Rockets’ 24-7 loss to Ohio on Wednesday night in front of a couple thousand bone-chilled fans at the Glass Bowl.

But I’m not sure this team has any wheels at all.

The key stat: Toledo ran for 39 yards on 25 attempts.

That’s 1.6 yards per carry — an average to which only Blutarsky could aspire — and it dropped the Rockets to 112th nationally in total rushing.
