On a seismic Saturday in college football, featuring the most matchups of unbeaten ranked teams in AP poll history, Toledo delivered one of the most thrilling comebacks in program history, overcoming a 21-point deficit to defeat Kent State 52-31.
The Rockets outscored Kent 45-10 over the final three quarters and 24-0 in the second half, completing their third-largest comeback in 105 seasons.
“Sometimes the phrase ‘team win’ gets blown out of proportion,” Toledo coach Jason Candle said. “But that’s really what today was.”
Dequan Finn had the best overall day of his career, completing 16 of 22 passes for 263 yards with a program-record-tying six touchdowns to four different receivers.
