How cocky can Toledo players and fans really be...the last time they were conference champs was 2004.
GIVE 'EM HELL APPS!

One of the only shooting wars fought between US states (other than the big one of course) was fought between the newly formed state of Ohio and the Michigan Territory for control of the port of Toledo. Michigan must have won because that dump is still part of Ohio.

Not going for it on 4th and 2, especially with the success Hunt had on the last drive. Why was he not in the game??? If he was tired, call that last TO. And where was their (TE) Andre the Giant, I mean Michael Roberts, once they got inside the 10. That dude is a monster! He brushed off Mondo and Howard like they were toddlers on his lone TD catch. I think our fan base would be just as disgruntled if the tables were turned.

With that said, they aren't really giving App any credit, especially to App's D who held their team under 30 for the 2nd time all season and a season low in yards. The Rockets' D had no answer for the App run game and if the WR's could catch I don't believe this game is as close as the final score. Bottom line, App made enough plays to win between 2 evenly matched teams!
No one else seems to have noticed, but I think Hunt had his bell rung on the play before he went out down on about the 8 at the end of the game. I think Gilchrist tackled him hard & he spun around and the back of his head hit the ground & bounced. He came out of the game on his own & looked woozy going off the field. I don't think he came back in. It was hard to tell when I re-watched the game last night. And, the announcers missed it entirely, as it appears did most everyone else. But, I saw his head slap the ground and bounce.

They cannot blame that on their coach. Although, many on their message board tried.

And, I agree about their big TE. I thought we would see ALOT more of him.
I saw the pop as well (I was there) and watched Hunt on the sideline. He was definitely woozy. Also watched it several times recorded and you just can't see it there. That hit was one of the plays of the game or Hunt very well may have gotten the needed yardage for the 1st. Especially the way he ran up our guts the previous plays.

He was one of the main ones. Should learn to control himself and keep his mouth shut.
