After a home loss to Buffalo last Saturday, the University of Toledo had to turn around the next day and start a short week of practice before heading to Western Michigan on Thursday.
Rather than letting things spiral away after two consecutive losses, the Rockets came into Sunday’s practice — a day removed from the Buffalo loss — and started a week of spirited preparation.
The result was the most complete performance of the season in a 51-24 win over Western Michigan.
“We had a great week of preparation,” UT senior receiver Cody Thompson said.
