You could taste the victory, and then, it all went sour. A monumental upset opportunity turned into deflating heartbreak in record time. Everything was shaping up for Saturday to be a monumental day in Toledo history, but that moment was snatched away in an instant and the Rockets exited the historic Notre Dame Stadium thinking, what could have been?
Toledo had Notre Dame on the ropes in South Bend, leading the No. 10 Fighting Irish 29-24 with less than 100 ticks remaining on the clock. On pace for the program’s first top 10 victory since 2003, Murphy’s Law was enacted.
