Another drive we had another td called back and came out with 3 points. Thats an 11 point swing. Plus toledo had 4 total turnovers. I mean i guess wmu failed to capitalize which you could say is them blowing it but Toledo played sloppy and shouldnt have given wmu the opportunities to stay within shooting distance. The blocked fg and doinked pat were your way of saying this weather sucks, we deserve bad luck also.
Western left more points of the board than UT did with missed field goals and and blowing what should have been easy TDs. UT had 453 yrds on offence and WMU had 450 yrds. That is a push!
We walked off the field walked off the field a couple of times, turning the ball over to UT after we missed what should have been easy field goals. As for the UT turnovers, if you were at the game then you would have saw that Western gave up a lot of yards on the run game as they were trying to strip the ball more than tackle the runner. The fans were getting irritated at this, until it started to bare fruit.
Cut out the hubris. UT did not blow the game. They played there toughest MAC opponent this year in the absolute, most worst conditions that they will see this year. In the end, they were just a wee bit more luckier than Western and they won by 1 frigging point!
PS You were playing against 19 freshmen. Though they are very talented, they are inexperienced freshmen none the less, but they will be a lot better next year and the ones after that. Enjoy your victory this year, because you will not again for a while. 
Toledo left about 25 points off the board. The strip of Swanson was on the
end of a 17 yd run @the WMU 28 after the Corey 40+yd return. Stripping the FB had no bearing on the botched center/QB exchange at the goal line or the TD that was was called back because of holding. One UT FG was due to the Rocket penalties moving the Rockets from about 2 down and the WMU 3 yd line. Btw, that was true Freshman Terry Swanson's first start, he ran for 179 yds almost 9 yds per attempt, a little better than Franklin's 60 some yds in 20 attempts.
Just so you know the starting WMU Offense had only 2 less Seniors than UT's, while the starting WMU Defense has more upper classmen than Toledo's. Quite a few players are Cubit's recruits(which he always had some good talent on his teams). Believe me you got Toledo's worst and still couldn't pull it off. You're very lucky Kareem Hunt wasn't available. He's a powerback and can dominant a game(Pull up last season's UT@BG game on youtube).
Here's 3 important points:
1) On the one WMU FG attempt, Bronco field position was because of a sack by the Rockets.
2) One of the missed FG's was blocked by Toledo not really a Bronco
miss.
3) The missed WMU extra point was for a tie in OT, not a Bronco win.
It would have only given you an opportunity to try win in another OT.
I watched these game at least 7 or 8 times, combed the stats, went over
the rosters, game participation, and starting line up, including the class
year of the players. So I have a good idea about this game.
Btw, nice that you've got some young talent, but so does Toledo and they been recruiting at a high level for a few years now. Final thought- take away Franklin and Terrell and that basically what you got playing UT without Hunt and Ely.
