DETROIT -- Jason Candle had every reason in the world to be conservative at the end of the first half of Saturday's Mid-American Conference championship game.
His Toledo Rockets had a 21-point lead, and were facing a first down at their own 3-yard line with 1:39 left in the second quarter. The percentage play was to run out the clock, especially as they were getting the ball to start the second half.
Instead, Candle put the ball into the hands of quarterback Logan Woodside and he responded in a 45-28 victory.
"I've got the best passer in the history of this school," Candle said.
