As the Mid-American Conference opened up the 2020 season Wednesday night, the University of Toledo got a resounding win over Bowling Green in the Battle of I-75.
The Rockets took a 21-0 advantage in the first quarter and turned it into a 38-3 win, getting payback for last year’s defeat at the hands of the Falcons.
“It really means everything,” defensive back Sam Womack said after the game. “You had them guys kind of talking smack before the game, we don't really pay attention to that. It's just the fact that they did. It was a good feeling to put our rivals at 0-1 and we go to 1-0, and a rivalry game is just a different feeling.
