Toledo’s late comeback bid fell just short against San Diego State on Saturday, with the Rockets (2-2) falling to the Aztecs (2-2) by a final score of 17-14 at Snapdragon Stadium, with the last touchdown of a tense 60-minute gridiron session coming by way of a San Diego State rushing touchdown in the final moments.
Toledo trailed 10-0 entering the fourth quarter, but two late touchdowns from quarterback Dequan Finn (one through the air, one on the ground) gave the Rockets a late 14-10 lead. Despite having all of the momentum, the Rockets defense was unable to hold, as Aztecs running back Jordan Byrd found the end zone with less than a minute to play to give San Diego State the 17-14 victory.
