DETROIT — What’s that old song by The Temptations? “I Wish It Would Rain”?
Well, the Toledo football team made its Motown wish come true.
As the Rockets polished off a win they wanted for coach Jason Candle every bit as much as their coach wanted it for them, it did not just rain Saturday at Ford Field.
It poured.
Three times in the final seconds of their 17-7 victory over Ohio in the Mid-American Conference championship game, a pair of Toledo players surreptitiously approached Candle with smiles on their faces and a 10-gallon cooler full of ice water in their hands.
