It’s fair to expect an air of melancholy to permeate through the Larimer Athletic Complex.
All season, Toledo showed up to the Glass Bowl and ticked off win after win after win. Then came the final home game of the season, the 87th playing of the Battle of I-75.
As a two-touchdown favorite, the first 20 minutes played out in horrific fashion for the Rockets, as Bowling Green jumped out to a 21-0 lead. But UT gathered itself and scored the go-ahead touchdown in the final minute, only to allow a touchdown with nine seconds left.
The heartbreak will linger.
