Toledo football coach Jason Candle is the first to admit that the game of football is all about momentum.

He’s also the first to admit that it was something that his team didn’t have early in its 27-24 loss to Ball State on Saturday.

“Energy is going to be provided by plays being made, excitement, success,” Candle said. “And we didn't have enough success to start the football game. Really on offense, the first two drives were 11 plays. I think on the first drive, they come up with no points. Second drive was I think seven plays, no points.
