Briggs: Toledo football's loss as brutal as it was unexplainable

SAN DIEGO — What is it mom always said?

If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all?

That about sums up the Toledo football team’s what-the-hell 17-14 loss to San Diego State.

And, sorry, mom, but the paragraph factory — unlike a few of the fans at Snapdragon Stadium on a somnolent Saturday — never sleeps.

So, here goes: This nesting doll of a game was a fiasco wrapped inside of a debacle wrapped inside of a disaster.

And, for the team that lost, it was even worse.

The Rockets’ second straight defeat was as brutal as it was confounding.
