Toledo football swats away Duquesne, 49-10, in season opener

Deciphering the particulars of the first college football game of the season is akin to learning how to golf with one lesson.

Impossible, unfeasible, and fool’s errand come to mind.

“Lot of unknowns,” Toledo coach Jason Candle said.

On Thursday night at the Glass Bowl, the University of Toledo ushered in the 2024 season with a 49-10 win over Duquesne. The three-hour-and-27-minute slog featured a high-powered and irregular UT offense and a sturdy and defective defense.

In November, the product won’t resemble what was first seen in August, for better or worse.

“We had a lot of positives to take,” Candle said.
