University of Toledo football coach Jason Candle is well aware of his program’s Mid-American Conference title drought. In his ninth season as part of the Toledo program, Candle understands the disappointment that has come with opportunities wasted and second chances squandered in the quest for the Rockets’ first MAC title since 2004.
Now with another golden opportunity to win the MAC West Division and go to the conference championship game, Candle isn’t much concerned with reliving past failures.
The Rockets (9-2, 6-1 MAC) need just a win over Western Michigan (6-5, 4-3 MAC) on Friday at the Glass Bowl to clinch the MAC West and earn a spot in the conference’s championship game against Akron.
