2016 Week 9 Recap: Ohio hangs on for historic win over Toledo 31-26

The weather was bad, and so was the football in the first half. At least it was if you are a Toledo fan. OU wants to win football games the old way. Tough defense and running the football. Weather doesn’t matter, and records don't either, as the Bobcats picked up their first road victory against the Rockets for the first time since 1967 by a final score of 31-26.

Throughout the game, both teams showed stark contrasts in terms of philosophy; OU punted on a 4th and 16 at one point. That’s understandable, except they punted from the Toledo 33.
