It was a tough outing for Toledo this past Saturday, as the Rockets travelled to Columbus and were promptly dispatched by Ohio State, 77-21. In many ways, this game was almost the exact opposite of the Rockets’ first two contests: while it’s tough to learn too much from a game when your opponent is clearly overmatched, the same can be said when you are the one in the role of steep underdog.
That was certainly the case here, as evidenced by the 31 point spread that was placed on this game. Regardless of the final outcome, there were certainly some silver linings for the Rockets, and all of their goals are still ahead of them.
