“Wow. This season has become a dumpster fire. Only 2 wins against FBS opponents, A late blown lead to lose at WMU, now a blown 21-point lead to lose to a back-up QB who had barely played before? Weird, isn’t it?” One Toledo fan wrote.
Wow. This season has become a dumpster fire. Only 2 wins against FBS opponents. Candle has to go, that’s clear. But it looks like we lose on purpose. A late blown lead to lose at WMU, now a blown 21-point lead to lose to a back-up QB who had barely played before? Weird isn’t it?
