Briggs: Toledo should be proud of Rockets after all-time performance

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — How’s that for premium content, Notre Dame?

On a day to deposit straight into Toledo lore, the Rockets gave the Irish — and the hearts of fans watching here and on Peacock — everything they could handle, damn near pulling off the greatest win in the 104-year history of the program.

With respect to Touchdown Jesus, Holy Toledo, indeed.

What a game.

And what a performance by the Rockets, who answered one shot after another from the No. 8 team in the country, then delivered what seemed to be the biggest one of them all with 1:35 remaining.
