An animated Vince Kehres could be seen on the Toledo sideline. Defensive line coach Frank Okam wasn’t much happier. And for good reason.
Through three quarters on Saturday, Western Michigan had run right through UT’s defense, lining up and overpowering the middle of the defensive line. At times, the Rockets offered little resistance, part of the reason why they trailed by as many as 10 points in the second half before rallying for a 49-31 victory.
At the start of the fourth quarter, the Broncos had 216 rushing yards on 44 carries, nearly five yards per rush.
