ATHENS — Smashmouth football in November might pair better than peanut butter and jelly.
Just ask Jason Candle.
The Toledo coach called Bryant Koback’s number all night, and the junior running back rewarded his coach with 203 yards and a career-high four touchdowns on 21 carries in the Rockets’ 35-23 win at Ohio on Wednesday night.
“Tremendous player,” Candle said. “He had some big explosive runs tonight, and some tough yardage he gained when some safeties were unblocked, meeting him at the line of scrimmage. He ran through some arm tackles. Proud of his effort and proud of how we ran the football tonight.
