Great execution on the onside kick (kicked it right at the freshman & charged him, making him react) and then awesome play call for the winning TD. The fact that we didn’t even cover that receiver just made Lester look more of a genius. I doubt we could have pulled that off if the roles had been reversed. We would have gotten an illegal procedure penalty or a delay of game penalty.

Yes, credit to Western. Keep in mind though, Toledo (I believe) beat Lester every time until last Wednesday. Nobody wants to beat Toledo like Lester. His broken leg has healed, but his championship run loss has not. Western is a talented team. I do feel their defense could be exploited. Still a talented unit. I like to be ahead, but don’t like to be in position to use a prevent defense. Unless you are more talented at every position and faster across the board, you have to. Too much risk of getting beat on a one on one match-up otherwise. Western has that guy. What I would like to see is a TE drop into coverage on the check down receiver, just to be disruptive enough in that situation. So much went right for Western on those two drives, which means they executed well. They “won” the game. Toledo had their chances. Toledo is much improved. I say better than early 2019. There are all kinds of reasons to move ahead strong. Go Rockets!!
