Briggs: With all-time clunker, Toledo football had us fooled

Was it all a dream?

Everything Toledo fans thought they saw, heard, and felt at Notre Dame last week?

The go-ahead touchdown in the final two minutes? The roars that echoed through an otherwise silent stadium? The sense that anything was possible for these Rockets?

Was it all a mirage?

Fools ... midnight blue and gold?

Afraid so.

If it’s possible to get fat off of a loss, the Rockets proved it in their no-show of a 22-6 loss to Colorado State at the Glass Bowl, the encore to their inspired defeat at Notre Dame registering as equal parts stunning and humiliating.
