2017 TOLEDO QUICK FACTS

Toledo, Ohio - Toledo’s 2017 spring football practice schedule was moved up two weeks earlier than in previous years. The Rock-ets will hit the field for the first time on Feb. 14 and conclude the six-week practice season on March 25. There were good reasons to move the practice season up on the calendar. Plays and terminol-ogy are still fresh in the players’ minds, and it also gives them more time to recover from any injuries sustained during spring ball. But second-year Head Coach Jason Candle also had another motive in mind. “I like the idea of getting back out onto the field earlier, ” said Candle. “We had a very good season (in 2016) and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this team.” The Rockets were 9-4 in Candle’s debut as head coach, earning a berth into the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl. How-ever, they came up one game short of their ultimate goal, a trip to the MAC Championship Game, leaving additional incentive for 2017. A MAC title is at the top of Toledo’s goals this season, and once again the Rockets should be serious contenders for the crown. UT returns one of the nation’s most explo-sive offenses. Led by senior quarterback Logan Woodside, Toledo averaged 38.0 points per game and led the Mid-American Conference in total offense with 517.8 yards per game. Woodside paced the nation with 45 touchdown passes. Two of his favorite targets are back—Cody Thomp-son (64 receptions, 11 TDs, 19.8 ypc) and Jon’Vea Johnson (40/10/19.3)—as is 2015 second-team All-MAC running back Terry Swanson. On defense, the Rockets return seven starters, including All-MAC linebacker Ja’Wuan Woodley. “We’re very excited about next season,” said Candle. “We have a great group of senior leaders, and plenty of talent on both sides of the ball. We will have some growing up to do in some key positions, but certainly the talent is

there for us to compete for a championship. It’ll be fun to watch and fun to go to work and see what this team looks like.” The following is an overview of the Rockets by position head-ing into 2017 spring practice:

Quarterback What could senior Logan Woodside possibly do for an encore? Woodside shattered just about every Toledo passing record in the books in 2016. He led the nation with 45 touchdown passes, 16 more than the previous best in Rocket history. He connected on 69.1 percent of his passes for 4,129 yards, an average of more than 317 yards per contest. He earned first-team

All-MAC honors and was named a contender for the Heis-man Trophy by the Heisman Trophy Trust. Most importantly, he directed the Rockets to nine wins, pacing an offense that scored at least 31 points in 11 of 13 games. What’s left for Woodside to improve on? Not much really, at least statistically speaking, so Candle is counting on him to inspire others. “Logan’s leadership, his accountability, and his buy-in to the program have been outstanding. His value as a leader is at an all-time high,” said Candle. “He’s going to have to go from making himself better, to making everybody around him better on a day-to-day basis, in the off-season, and throughout next season.” Backing up Woodside is another senior, Michael Julian, and sophomore Mitchell Guidagni. Julian has some game experience, having played in 14 games in his college career, with one starting assignment.

Senior Logan Woodside led the nation with 45 touchdown passes in 2016.

Running Back Kareem Hunt is no longer in Toledo’s backfield, but no one should feel sorry for the Rockets. Candle has plenty of firepower in store. Hunt finished his four-year ca-reer as UT’s all-time leading rusher, racking up 4,945 yards, three All-MAC awards and the North Team MVP award in the 2017 Senior Bowl. But Hunt was never a one-man gang. Right beside him most of the way was Terry Swanson, now a senior and ready for a chance in a brighter spotlight. In addition, sophomore Art Thompkins burst on the scene in 2016. Redshirt fresh-men Nevone McCrimmon and Shakif Seymour are in the mix, too, and will have a chance to shine this spring. In 2015, Swanson rushed for 923 yards, earning sec-ond-team All-MAC honors. Last year, he had fewer carries but still rushed for 583 yards and caught 10 passes out of the backfield. “Terry Swanson has been an all-conference performer for us,” said Candle. “I know if Terry’s development and growth can take the same leap that Kareem’s did from his junior to senior year, you’d expect some really good things out of Terry this fall.” Thompkins rushed for 235 yards as a freshman in 2016, averaging an eye-popping 8.1 yards per carry. “Art is an explosive playmaker,” added Candle. “He’s a guy that can score from anywhere on the field. He has improved in the passing game and certainly has improved in blitz pick-up, which gives him the right to expect some playing time in any situation.”

Wide Receivers/Tight Ends On the other end of Woodside’s accurate passes is a receiving corps that is as talented as any that has ever worn the Midnight Blue and Gold. Senior Cody Thompson has established himself as one of the top big-play receivers in the country. Thompson has ranked in the top 10 in yards per reception in each of

the past two seasons. In 2016, he caught 64 passes for 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns. He earned first-team All-MAC honors and set the school record for receiving yards in a season. “Cody is very versatile. You can move him around to a lot of different spots,” said Candle. “He possesses a ton of skill and brings a really workmanlike approach to each and every day. Cody is just a fantastic player, a great student and a great teammate. I can’t say enough about that guy.” Also making a big impact last season was junior Jon’Vea Johnson. Johnson grabbed 40 passes for 773 yards and 10 TDs, earning second-team All-MAC accolades. Sophomore Diontae Johnson

sat out last season with an injury but is ready to come back into the lineup one year removed from an outstanding freshman campaign. He caught 14 passes in 2015 and also averaged 22.8 yards on 11 kickoff returns. Other receivers who have seen action for the Rockets are senior Darryl Richards, junior Andrew Davis and sophomore Danzel McKinley-Lewis. Redshirt freshmen Desmond Phillips and Neru N’Shaka are up-and-coming receivers who will have a chance to make their marks this spring. Replacing first-team All-America tight end Michael Roberts will not be easy, but Candle likes the players he has at that position. Senior Adam Kulon and sophomore Jordan Fisher are the leading candidates to fill that role.

Offensive Line Toledo loses three starters from the offensive line but still has five players who either started or saw significant action in 2016. Returning players who started at least six games last year include seniors Elijah Nkansah and Nate Jeppesen, as well as sophomore Bryce Harris. Senior Brant Weiss and junior Yazeed Atariwa have seen plenty of action in their careers as either part-time starters or a reserves.

Senior Cody Thompson set the school record with 1,269 receiving yards in 2016.

2017 TOLEDO SPRING OUTLOOK

At 6-6, 315 pounds, Nkansah is a two-year starter who looks to anchor the left tackle position. Jeppessen had eight starts at center and right guard in 2016, Harris had six at center, and Weiss had five at right tackle. Atariwa had one start at right guard, and also saw emergency duty on the defensive line. “We’ve got a very solid core of players on the offensive line,” said Candle. “They have all played meaningful snaps and college football games throughout their career, which is encouraging. But we’ve also got some younger guys who are ready to show what they can do.” Those young linemen include sophomores Chandler Cotterman, Brandon Heidecker and Cameron Bell, as well as redshirt freshman Luke Doerger.

Defensive Line Marquise Moore has played alongside many great defensive linemen in his college career. Now it’s time for the fifth-year senior to step into a leadership role. Moore has started 21 games as a Rocket, including 11 in a 2016 season in which he compiled 36 tackles. Candle is looking for bigger things from his 300-pound tackle this season. “Marquise understands the daily routine of playing winning football and what we ask our players to do,” said Candle. “He’s a big guy at tackle who needs to take the next step and be a leader. He’s going to be counted on to be an every-down player, not a rotation guy.” Other tackles with playing experience are senior Daniel Davis, sophomores Nate Childress, Lamarr Davis and Willie Ross. Reggie Howard is a junior-college transfer who will have a chance to be in the rotation. Edrick Matthews and David Hood both will be redshirt freshmen in 2017. At defensive end, junior Olasunkanmi Adeniyi came into his own in 2016 with 49 tackles and 8.0 tackles for loss. Senior Zach Quinn is a three-time letterwinner who has tallied 43 tackles in his career. Senior Tuzar Skipper had 22 tackles in 13 games as a junior college transfer last season. “Ola and Zach have played a ton of football for us,” said Candle. “Ola obviously had great production last year, and Zach has played a lot on special teams and been very productive when he’s had his opportunities to play on defense. Tuzar Skipper also played some meaningful snaps last year.” Other names to watch out for at defensive end are Malik Jones, a fifth-year transfer from Maryland, and Obi Anunike, a grayshirt freshman who enrolled in January.

Linebackers The linebacker position, led by senior Ja’Wuan Wood-ley, has the most experience on the Rocket defense. Wood-ley was a third-team All-MAC selection in 2016, racking up 79 tackles and 13.0 TFL. In 2015, he was the Defensive MVP of the Marmot Boca Raton Bowl. “Ja’Wuan Woodley is one of the better linebackers in our conference,” Candle said. “He plays at a different speed than everyone else. Success is really important to him. He has high expectations for himself and our defense.” Other veteran linebackers include junior Tyler Ta-afe, who stepped in and started all 13 games at middle linebacker last year, and senior Jack Linch, who had 24 tackles at linebacker and on special teams. Junior Richard Olekanma, is back after missing all but three games last year due to injury. Candle said he will also be keeping his eye on some younger linebackers this spring, like redshirt freshman Tre’shun Wilson.

Secondary Toledo’s secondary returns both starting cornerbacks and a starting safety. But there will be plenty of competition to fill the five backfield positions. Senior Trevon Mathis and junior Ka’dar Hollman are back at the corners. Mathis started all 13 games in 2016, making 44 tackles and adding an interception and two pass breakups. Hollman started in eight games, making 33 tackles and breaking up eight passes. Sophomore Aaron Covington played in 11 games, making 15 tackles and snagging a key interception late in the Northern Illinois win. Other cornerbacks with playing experience are junior Marcus Whitefield and senior Kennedy Frazier. Candle is also high on redshirt freshmen Justin Clark, Keelen Roberts and Kareem Felder. Following the graduation of DeJuan Rogers and Connery Swift, the situation at safety is pretty wide open. Junior Josh Teachey (28 tackles) started 12 games at the star position last season, but no other safety has more than one career start in college. Sophomore DeDarallo Blue (26 tackles) had an impressive freshman season, gradually working his way into more playing time as the year progressed. Others to look out for at safety are junior Anthony Davis, sophomores Ronnie Jones and Kahlil Robinson, and redshirt freshman Jordan Williams.

Special Teams The Rockets return two placekickers but will need to replace punter Nick Ellis, who had an oustanding senior season. Candle will also need to find a replacement for Corey Jones, who handled kickoff and punt return duties in 2016. Junior Jameson Vest and senior Sam Vucelich shared the kicking duties last year and that combination could continue in 2017. Vest handled field goals and extra points, connecting on 13-of-19 field goals and 61-of-62 PATs. Vucelich averaged 60.2 yards on 81 kickoffs. The leading candidate to replace Ellis at punter is senior Michael Julian, who also serves as a backup quarterback. Julian will be competing with walk-on Reuben Luna this spring. Candidates for kickoff returner include sophomores Diontae Johnson and Art Thompkins, along with redshirt freshman Desmond Phillips. Phillips will also be competing with sophomore Danzel McKinley-Lewis at punt returner this spring. Senior Brad Spelman returns as the team’s long snapper. “There’s room for improvement in every position, but I thought we were solid in the special teams units last year,” said Candle. “We did a really good job on our cover units. The kick return we gave up in the bowl game obviously was a glaring moment, but until that point we were number-one in our conference in kick-return coverage. We did a consistently good job on the punt unit all year; the coverage was really good. In the return game, I think we can do a better job. That’s an area that needs to improve.”

2017 Schedule The Rockets have six home games next season, in-cluding a matchup vs. a very tough Tulsa squad on Sept.16. Toledo will open the 2017 season at home vs. Elon on Thursday, Aug. 31. UT’s non-conference road games are at Nevada (Sept. 9) and Miami (Sept. 23). In Mid-American Conference play, the Rockets will host Akron, Eastern Michigan, Northern Illinois and Western Michigan. Toledo will face Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan and Ohio on the road. Dates and times for the games will be released later by the Mid-American Confer-ence

Senior Trevon Mathis (6) started all 13 games at cornerback last season.

15 STARTERS, 44 LETTERWINNERS RETURN FOR ROCKETS Toledo returns 15 starters and 44 letterwinners from last year’s 9-4 team. Six starters return on offense, seven on defense and two on special teams. Among the returnees are five players who have earned All-MAC

honors at some point in their career: senior quarterback Logan Wood-side (first team), senior wide receiver Cody Thompson (first team), junior wide receiver Jon’Vea Johnson (sec-ond team), senior linebacker Ja’Wuan Woodley (third team) and junior run-ning back Terry Swanson (2015 sec-ond team).

LOGAN WOODSIDE NAMED CON-TENDER FOR HEISMAN TROPHY Senior quarterback Logan Woodside was named a “contender” for the 2016 Heisman Trophy by the Heisman Trophy Trust and was one of only a select few candidates for the prestigious award given annually the best football player in the country. Woodside also was on the official watch lists for the Maxwell Award (na-tional player of the year) and the Manning Award (nation’s top quarterback).

WOODSIDE AMONG NATIONAL, MAC LEADERS Logan Woodside put up some stag-gering numbers in 2016. The junior quarterback completed 69.1 percent of his passes for 4,129 yards and 45 TDs, with only nine inter-ceptions. He was the national leader in TD passes, and was second nation-ally in passing efficiency (183.3). He is the first Rocket QB ever to crack the 4,000-yard passing mark in a season. His passing yardage total is the most ever by a UT quarterback by more than 600 yards. Woodside’s 45 touchdown passes is by far the most ever by a Rocket quar-terback, 16 more than the previous record of 29 set by Bruce Gradkowski in 2003 and 2005. Woodside’s total also ranks second in MAC history, just one shy of the record of 46 set by Matt Johnson of Bowling Green in 2015.

THOMPSON AND JOHNSON ARE TO-LEDO’S BIG-PLAY RECEIVERS Senior Cody Thompson and ju-nior Jon’Vea Johnson form a potent deep-threat combo for the Rockets. Last season, Thompson averaged 19.8 yards per grab, while Johnson came in at 19.3 yards per catch. Thompson caught 64 passes for a school-record 1,269 yards and 11 TDs. He had 10 receptions of at least 40 yards. Johnson had 40 receptions for 773 yards and 10 TDs. He also caught a 98-yard TD pass, the longest play from scrimmage in UT history.

TOLEDO NOTEBOOK

NEW FACES ON THE COACHING STAFF Mike Bellamy and Hank Poteat have joined the Toledo coaching staff in 2017. Bellamy, who will coach the wide receivers, comes to Toledo after spending last season at Mississippi State and the previous four campaigns at Illinois. Poteat was the cornerbacks coach at Kent State the past two seasons and will handle the same position for the Rockets. “I am very excited about the addition of Hank Poteat and Mike Bellamy to our staff,” said head coach Jason Candle. “Both men bring instant credibility to their re-spective meeting rooms and will provide a necessary spark on the recruiting trail.”

NUMBER NINE Toledo had nine wins in 2016, the fifth time in the last six years UT won at least nine games. Toledo’s record the past six years:Year Record2011 9-42012 9-42013 7-52014 9-42015 10-22016 9-4

AMONG THE NATION’S BEST Toledo finished the 2016 season in the top 10 in the nation in five team categories:• Passing Efficiency (183.3) - 2nd• 3rd-Down Conversions (51.1%) - 5th• Total Offense (517.8) - 7th• Red-Zone Offense (92.0%) - 9th• Passing Offense (322.8) - 10th

LEADERS OF THE MAC The Rockets led the MAC in the following categories:• Total Offense (517.8)• Passing Offense (322.8)• Passing Efficiency (183.8)• 3rd-Down Conversions-Defense (34.7%)

ROCKETS WERE EFFECTIVE ON THIRD DOWN Toledo was sixth in the nation in successful third-down attempts in 2016, converting 51.1 percent of its third-down attempts. Conversely, Rocket opponents converted just 34.7% of third-down attempts, the 23rd-best mark for defenses in the country.

THAT’S VERY OFFENSIVE Toledo shattered the school re-cords for total offense and passing of-fense in 2016, averaging 517.8 yards of total offense, 27.3 yards more than the record of 490.5 set in 2014. UT’s passing attack put up 322.8 yards per game, nearly 24.2 yards per game bet-ter than the standard of 298.4 set in 2004.

PROTECTING THE QUARTERBACK Toledo’s offensive line allowed 14 sacks this season, which was tied for the 11th-fewest in the nation. Going back to last season, UT has not allowed a sack in 15 of its last 25 games. Toledo opened the 2015 sea-son with seven consecutive games without a sack. The Rockets eventu-ally relinquished five sacks in 2015, which was the second-fewest in the nation.

PROTECTING THE BALL Toledo’s running backs lost only one fumble in 2016. That came on a fumble by Terry Swanson in the first half of the Arkansas State game on Sept. 2. Toledo’s running backs did not lose another fumble after that, giv-ing them a streak of 12 consecutive games without a lost fumble and 31 out of the last 32 games overall going back to the 2014 season. Before the Arkansas State game, the last time Toledo lost a fumble by one of its running backs was Oct. 4, 2014 in the fourth quarter of a 20-19 overtime win over Western Michigan when Swanson fumbled in a driving rain storm.

FOUR ROCKETS INVITED TO POST-SEASON ALL-STAR GAMES Four Rockets were invited to play in post-season all-star games in Janu-ary. Running back Kareem Hunt and tight end Michael Roberts played in the Reese’s Senior Bowl on Jan. 28, 2017 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mo-bile, AL. Hunt rushed for 118 yards and was named the North Team MVP. Treyvon Hester, Storm Norton and Michael Roberts were chosen to play in the 92nd East-West Shrine Game on Jan. 21, 2017 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, FL. Hester was unable to play due to an injury.

Q: How would you assess your first season as head coach as well as the challenges for 2017?

Candle: We had a lot of great seniors last year and they went out with a great season. Going through a coaching change and having a whole new coaching staff, that’s a very difficult process to go through, even with a veteran team. This year’s team will take on a different approach. We’ll be younger at some spots, not necessarily less talented. We’re certainly younger in experience and will have some growing up to do in those key positions. It’ll be fun to watch, it’ll be fun to go to work and see what this team looks like.

Q: What are your biggest points of emphasis this spring?

Candle: I think we’re trying to define who we are, to find out who our leaders are. It’s a new senior class and a new group of players who are battling for roles on this team. We are trying to find out who our top players are going to be, and who emerges to take those roles. From there, we adjust schematically to what fits them the best and gives us a clearer picture of what our team will ultimately look like. We’ll do a good job of generating some great competition at each and every position. Certainly some of our questions have to do with positions; some of those questions will not necessarily be answered this spring. So we’re just trying to get some preliminary thoughts of what our team will look like and a snapshot of who we’re going to be.

Q: You are starting spring practice two weeks earlier this year, and you’ll be finished by March 25. What are the advantages of the earlier schedule?

Candle: I thought we needed a little bit of a change. I think our players are ready to practice when the terminology is fresher in their heads from coming off of last season. It gives us the chance to heal up some of our guys on the back end if injuries do occur throughout spring football, which as we know, sometimes happens.

Q: So do you get right back into off-season conditioning after March 25?

Candle: Yes. We’ll use the month of April to continue our

winter conditioning. Then there is a little bit of break in May, and in mid-May we’ll get them back here and have them here for the summer. Plenty of time to get strong and get ready for pre-season camp.

Q: You said you are looking for new leaders to begin emerging this spring. On the other hand, you already have a great leader in senior quarterback Logan Woodside.

Candle: Logan’s leadership, his accountability, and his buy-in to the program have been outstanding. His value as a leader is at an all-time high. He certainly did a good job of leading our football team in some of our key moments last year. I thought he played his best in some of the biggest games, and that’s what you want your quarterback to do. The number-one characteristic that he has is that he has the ability to make everyone around him better. You need that type of leadership from the quarterback position. It’s the most scrutinized position in all sports and he knows that very well. He’s going to have to go from making himself better, to making everybody around him better on a day-to-day basis, in the off-season, and throughout next season.

Q: Does that mean leadership beyond just throwing a football and completing passes?

Candle: When you’re competing for a position, sometimes you can only focus on what you’re doing, and you don’t worry about what the other people in the offensive meeting room are doing. At the quarterback position, ideally, you need to understand how everyone is ticking because when it’s third-and-five, it’s all about trust and being on the same page.

Q: Considering the kind of success that Logan has had, are you holding him to a higher standard in his senior season?

Candle: Logan understands what a good practice looks like and he understands the day-to-day routine of what we ask our football team to do. He’s always been an ambassador of that work ethic. We wouldn’t expect anything less as he moves into his senior year. He’s got big dreams and big goals for this football team, and for himself personally, so

Q&A WITH HEAD COACH JASON CANDLE

our job as a staff is to assist him and push him to make sure that he can be his best each and every day. That can only make our team better.

Q: Some part of that leadership is the fact that Logan is going to adjust to having some new people around him on offense. You’re losing three starters from the offensive line, an All-American tight end in Michael Roberts and a star running back in Kareem Hunt. That’s got to be part of the leadership equation, moving forward with new people in new positions.

Candle: We do return some veteran players at the offensive skill positions. We are as strong as we have been in my tenure here at wide receiver. We’ve got a couple of running backs returning in Terry Swanson and Art Thompkins, who have each run for over 100 yards in a football game. We’re a little inexperienced at tight end, but we were last year as well and that turned out to be a strength for us. Mike Roberts obviously had a tremendous senior season, but we have some good young players at tight end, who will have a chance to make an impact. On the offensive line, we’re losing a great one in Storm Norton, as well as Mike Ebert and Paul Perschon. Those guys will be missed, but I’m excited to watch some of the young guys who I know have been waiting their turn to be every-down players, step up and embrace their time to shine.

Q: Talking about the offensive line, you’ve got a nucleus of players who have started and played well, guys like Nate Jeppesen, Elijah Nkansah, Bryce Harris, Yazeed Atariwa and Brant Weiss. So there is a core of veteran offensive lineman. But who are some of the up-and-coming linemen who will need to step forward?

Candle: Those guys you mentioned have all played meaningful snaps and college football games throughout their career, which is encouraging. But we’ve also got some younger guys who are ready to show what they can do. Chandler Cotterman is a strong presence at guard. He has a chance to be a first-team player. I’m really excited about him and his growth so far, and the way he’s worked off the field and in the weight room. Cameron Bell has practiced for two years as a second-team guy and is now ready to compete for a starting spot. Brandon Heidecker is in the mix, as is Luke Doerger, who is coming off of a redshirt year. He is showing some real growth in the weight room and working to put

himself in a position to be successful.

Q: You mentioned your strength at the receiver position. You’ve got two receivers coming back in Cody Thompson and Jon’Vea Johnson who put up big numbers last year. I think people may have forgotten about Diontae Johnson, who had an impressive freshman year then missed last season due to injury. Expectations are high for all three of those guys I would assume.

Candle: We had two receivers who each grabbed 10-plus touchdowns last year, and then we have Diontae coming back. Diontae also provides value in the return game. I think he might benefit from having the time off to grow and mature a bit. So I’m really excited about those three. We also have some receivers who got their feet wet last year and are ready to make some plays for us. Danzel McKinley-Lewis and Desmond Phillips played some meaningful time last year and made some plays for us. Certainly

we’re looking to expand their roles. (Junior) Andrew Davis and (redshirt freshman) Neru N’Shaka are coming off injuries and could be factors. Darryl Richards was in the rotation last year and is back as a senior. So, there is a lot of depth at receiver. The competition throughout the spring will be fun to watch.

Q: Cody Thompson really stood out last year. You’ve got to be very excited to have a quarterback/receiver combination like that, something you can build around in your passing game.

Candle: Cody is very versatile. You can move him around to a lot of different spots. He possesses a ton of skill and brings a really workmanlike approach to each and every day. As a coach, you’re always trying to develop leaders and groom guys to be vocal and be at the forefront of everything. Since he has been here, Cody has led that position group just by his work ethic and by his desire to be the best. That has shown up on game day. So we’re expecting a big senior year out of him and out of the other guys he has helped and supported. Cody is just a fantastic player, a great student and a great teammate. I can’t say enough about that guy.

Q: At tight end, odds are you’re not going to get 16 touchdowns out of that position next year (the number Michael Roberts had in 2016). But success at tight end is


also measured by other things, like run blocking, pass blocking and down-field blocking. How do you see that position shaking out?

Candle: We had so much success in the passing game last year because Mike was such a presence. I think our staff has to do a great job this off-season of developing our playmakers and putting them in the best position to be successful. We have a number of players we are looking at to fill that role, guys like Adam Kulon and Jordan Fisher. We traditionally haven’t been a team that’s thrown the football at that high of a success rate to the tight end, but Mike commanded that because he was a mismatch for everybody we played against. If somebody at that position develops to be like that, then so be it. If it’s not, then we’ll find the best 11 guys and get them in the position to be successful and to score touchdowns.

Q: At running back, you lose Kareem Hunt, who was a great talent and will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest running backs in UT history. But, as you mentioned earlier, you’ve got two guys who are proven, so I don’t think anyone is going to be feeling sorry for the Rockets this fall.

Candle: Terry Swanson is entering his fourth year playing for us. He played as a freshman, he’s been an all-conference performer for us. Just two years ago, he and Kareem were both second-team all-conference backs. I know if Terry’s development and growth can take the same leap that Kareem’s did from his junior to senior year, you’d expect some really good things out of Terry this fall. One thing Terry brings is consistency. Each and every day you know exactly what you’re going to get. As for Art Thompkins, he’s an explosive playmaker. He’s a guy that can score from anywhere on the field. He has improved in the passing game and certainly has improved in blitz pick-up, which gives him the right to expect some playing time in any situation. We also have Nevone McCrimmon and Shakif Seymour, two young guys who are coming on strong. Both have had good off-seasons. I look forward to working with them and seeing what they will bring to the table as well. We will need our running backs to go three, four, or even five deep for us to be successful. Q: Moving to defense, over the last two years you’ve had a lot of outstanding players on that side of the ball. Some of those guys are gone now. So how do you evaluate the defense coming into this spring? Who will step up and replace the talent that has graduated?

Candle: We have to do a great job of identifying who our best 11 are and match the scheme to what fits our players. Graduation hits us a little bit, but it’s nothing to cry about because you always have good players behind graduating seniors who have waited their turn. I don’t think this year is any different. We have a lot of players who have played either special teams or in back-up roles. So now it’s the responsibility of our coaches to make sure those guys transition into becoming first-team and every-down players.

Q: Let’s start with the defensive line. What are the strengths and challenges there?

Candle: Our most experienced player at defensive tackle is Marquise Moore. He understands the daily routine of playing winning football and what we ask our players to do. He’s a big guy at tackle who needs to take the next step and be a leader. He’s going to be counted on to be an every-down player, not a rotation guy. I know he’ll do a great job of that. Other tackles who played some meaningful snaps are Daniel Davis, Nate Childress, Lamarr Davis and Willie Ross. Reggie Howard is a junior-college transfer who will have a chance to be in the rotation at tackle. Edrick Matthews and David Hood are coming off of redshirt years. Those eight guys will be fighting for time at the defensive tackle spot. Q: And then at defensive end, you’ve got Ola Adeniyi, who had a really good year, and Zach Quinn is a senior with significant experience.

Candle: Ola and Zach played a ton of football for us. Ola obviously had great production last year, and Zach has played a lot on special teams and been very productive when he’s had his opportunities to play on defense. Tuzar Skipper also played some meaningful snaps last year. Malik Jones is a fifth-year transfer from Maryland who provides



depth there, as well. Obi Anunike is a freshman who is enrolled and practicing with us. So we have a depth on the defensive line, plus a freshman class coming in that we’re certainly really excited about.

Q: Linebacker looks to be the area with the most experience on defense.

Candle: You count on those guys to be in the right spots. They know the defense, they understand where everyone needs to be. Ja’Wuan Woodley is one of the better linebackers in our conference. He plays at a different speed than everyone else. Success is really important to him. He has high expectations for himself and our defense. Tyler Taafe was very consistent for us, starting all 13 games last year. Jack Linch is a senior and a great special teams player for us who has played meaningful snaps as a linebacker. We’ll also get Richard Olekanma back after missing most of last year due to injury. Tre’shun Wilson is a redshirt freshman and an explosive player. We’re certainly excited to watch his development. Anthony Davis now is in his third season and it’s time for him to produce and become a major factor. So there’s a lot of competition at that position.

Q: In today’s game, the defensive backfield is so important. You’ve got a lot of guys coming back who have played at cornerback and safety.

Candle: Our two starting cornerbacks from last year, Trevon Mathis and Ka’dar Hollman, are back. Aaron Covington, who had the interception at the end of the Northern Illinois game, played a ton of meaningful snaps at cornerback last year. Kareem Felder, who is an extreme talent, is coming in off of his redshirt year, as are Justin Clark and Keelen Roberts. Kennedy Frazier, a senior, is coming off an injury. So we have a lot of guys at that position that have a chance to compete.

Q: And at safety?

Candle: We’ve got to find out who the best three guys are at those positions. DeDarallo Blue, Josh Teachey, Ronnie Jones, Jordan Williams, all four of those guys are in the mix. Josh was a starter for most of the year, and the other three played on special teams or in back-up roles in situational packages. Now it’s time to put some more on their plate and see what they can deliver for us.

Q: On special teams, you lose Corey Jones as your kickoff and punt returner, so it would seem there is an opportunity for someone to step up and earn that spot in camp.

Candle: In years past, whether it was Eric Page or Bernard Reedy or Corey Jones, we have had a slot receiver who is the

guy who’s used to having the ball in his hands a lot. So there’s an opportunity to fill the void at both of those spots. At punt returner, we’ll be looking at Danzel McKinley-Lewis and Desmond Philips this spring. At kickoff return, Diontae Johnson, Art Thompkins, Desmond Philips and Neru N’Shaka are all possible candidates.

Q: How do you assess your special teams units?

Candle: There’s room for improvement in every position, but I thought we were solid in the special teams units last year. We did a really good job on our cover units. The kick return we gave up in the bowl game obviously was a glaring moment, but until that point we were number-one in our conference in kick-return coverage. We did a consistently good job on the punt unit all year; the coverage was really good. In the return game, I think we can do a better job. That’s an area that needs to improve.

Q: You’ve got a punter to replace. Who are you looking at for that position?

Candle: Michael Julian is our leading candidate at punter. He’s still playing at quarterback so he will be practicing at two positions. We have a walk-on, Rueben Luna, who will be competing with him this spring.

Q: At placekicker, you used Jameson Vest for field goals and Sam Vucelich for kickoffs last year. Will you continue with that combination?

Candle: That’s a possibility, yes. I think both of our kickers did a good job last year, but they know they will have to be even better this year. They’re striving for consistency. We’ll have some good competition at that position.

HEAD COACH JASON CANDLE

Jason Candle has played a major part of the success of the University of Toledo football program since 2009, first as an assistant coach and then as head coach. Candle assumed the Rockets’ head coaching role in December of 2015 following seven successful seasons as an assistant. He has since embarked on a quest to take an already out-standing program to even greater heights. In his first full season as Toledo’s leader in 2016, Can-dle led the Rockets to a 9-4 season and a berth in the Ray-com Media Camellia Bowl. He and his staff followed that up with a 2017 recruiting class that was ranked No. 1 in the Mid-American Conference by every major recruiting service. Candle was serving as the Rockets’ associate head coach/offensive coordinator when on Dec. 2, 2015, UT Athletic Director Mike O’Brien chose him to become the 27th head football coach in the 95-year storied history of Toledo football. Candle had exactly 20 days to put together a coach-ing staff and prepare his team for the Marmot Boca Raton Bowl. Twenty days later, Candle and his team celebrated a

32-17 victory over No. 24 Temple in the rain of south Flori-da. The triumph capped a 10-2 season for the Rockets and gave Candle a head coaching debut to remember.

First Months on the Job Candle’s first two months on the job were a whirlwind of activity. First, he had to prepare his team for a battle with a very strong Temple team in the Marmot Boca Raton Bowl. Despite being short-staffed, the Rockets were ready for the No. 24 Owls, holding them to just three points and 67 yards of offense in the first half. Toledo dominated the fourth quarter, too, outscoring Temple, 20-8, in the final 15 minutes to come away with a 32-17 victory. Next on Candle’s agenda was completing his coach-ing staff and signing the next generation of Rockets. Candle added eight assistants to the staff, as well as a strength and conditioning coach, a director of high school relations and a director of football operations. The newcomers helped Candle put the finishing touches on a recruiting class that was ranked second in the MAC by ESPN.com.


Firing Up the Rockets in 2016 Candle’s first full season as head coach of the Rockets was filled with highlights. Toledo won nine games and earned a berth into the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, its sixth bowl berth in the last seven years. The 2016 Rockets featured one of the top offenses in the country, ranking in the top 10 in five offensive categories, includ-ing passing efficiency (second), third-down conversions (fifth), total offense (seventh) and pass-ing offense (10th). Toledo set the school record with an average of 517.8 yards per game. The Rockets’ 2016 roster housed a record nine players who were on the official watch lists for national awards. Twelve Rockets made All-MAC, including a league-high seven first-team selections. Junior quarterback Logan Woodside led the nation with 45 touchdown passes and was named a contender for the Heisman Trophy by the Heisman Trophy Trust. Senior tight end Michael Roberts led the nation’s tight ends with 16 TD catches and was named first-team All-America by the Football Writers As-sociation of America. Senior running back Kareem Hunt finished his career as UT’s all-time leading rusher with 4,945 yards. Roberts and Hunt were chosen to play in the 2017 Senior Bowl, while offensive lineman Storm Norton and defensive tackle Treyvon Hester joined Roberts as selections for the East-West Shrine Game.

Guiding the Rocket Offense as an Assistant Under Candle’s guidance as of-fensive coordinator, the Toledo of-fense was prolific, and 2015 was no exception. The Rockets were 10-2 and ranked third in the Mid-American Con-ference in scoring offense (35.0) and total offense (460.9 yards per game). Four Rockets earned All-MAC honors on offense, including first-team honor-ee Storm Norton (OL). Junior running back Kareem Hunt came back from in-juries to lead the MAC in rushing with 108.1 yards per game. Toledo led the

MAC in rushing, averaging nearly 208 yards per contest, and ranked No. 2 in the nation in fewest sacks allowed (five). In 2014, UT led the MAC in just about every major offensive catego-ry, including scoring offense (36.6), total offense (490.5) and rushing offense (256.4). The 2014 season culminated with a nine-touchdown outburst in a 63-44 victory over Ar-kansas State in the GoDaddy Bowl for the 9-4 Rockets. Six Rockets earned All-MAC rec-ognition on offense in 2014, with

senior center Greg Mancz snagging second-team All-America honors and the Vern Smith Leadership Award, given annually to the top player in the MAC. Sophomore running back Kareem Hunt ranked 10th in the nation in rushing (1,631 yards) and second in yards per carry (7.96). Candle also skillfully guided the Rocket quarterbacks through a challenging season in which the top three sig-nal-callers were all injured at the same time. In 2013, the Rockets averaged 33.0 points and 447.3 yards of total offense per game. Toledo’s running game was especially effective, ranking second in the Mid-Amer-ican Conference with 240.6 yards per contest. In addition, seven players on the offensive side of the ball earned All-MAC honors, including two-time first-team running back David Fluellen.

In his debut as offensive coordi-nator in 2012, Candle helped guide the third-ranked offense in the MAC, as UT averaged 445.2 yards per game. The Rockets had five offensive players make the All-MAC team, propelling them to a 9-4 mark and a trip to the Fa-mous Idaho Potato Bowl.

Making his Mark as Receivers Coach As the receivers coach from 2009-11, Candle mentored one of the most decorated receivers in Rocket history, Eric Page. Page caught 306 passes in his career, the most ever by a Divi-sion I-BCS receiver in three seasons. A three-time All-MAC player, Page broke virtually every UT receiving record and tied the MAC record for career recep-

Jason Candle, shown here with UT Athletic Di-rector Mike O’Brien, was named Toledo’s head football coach on Dec. 2, 2015.

Six of Candle’s 13 seasons as an assis-tant football coach were as a coordi-nator. He was just 27 years old when he was named offensive coordinator at Mount Union.


tions. In 2011, the Rockets went 9-4 and won their first bowl game in six years, a 42-41 victory over Air Force in the Military Bowl. Sophomore wide receiver Bernard Reedy caught three touchdown passes and was named the game’s MVP. Page caught a school-record 125 passes for the season and earned first-team All-MAC honors. In 2010, the Rockets went 8-5 and made their first bowl appearance in five seasons. Page caught 99 passes and was a first-team All-MAC honoree at wide receiver, earning All-America honors as a kickoff returner, as well. In 2009, Candle coached the slot receivers and tight ends. He helped guide Page to an outstanding freshman season. Page led the nation in receptions (82) and yardage (1,159) by a freshman and was named first-team Freshman All-America by Phil Steele Magazine and the College Football News. Candle has earned some national accolades of his own. In 2010, he was named one of the top recruiters in the nation by Rivals.com. He was one of only nine coaches in the country from non-automatic BCS qualifying confer-ences to be named to the list and the only coach from the MAC. Candle also was named the Mid-American Confer-ence “Recruiter of the Year” by Scout.com in both 2011 and 2012. Toledo’s 2011 recruiting class was ranked No. 1 in the MAC by both Scout and Rivals. In 2014, Candle was named one of only two MAC assistants to be named among the top recruiters in the “Group of Five” conferenc-es by Rivals.

Coaching Origins at Mount Union Candle joined the Rockets’ staff in 2009 after spending both his playing and coaching career under head coach Larry Kehres at Mount Union. In Candle’s six years as an assistant at Mount Union, the Purple Raiders went 83-4 and won NCAA Division III national champion-ships in 2005, 2006 and 2008. The 2003 and 2007 teams lost in the national championship game. A 2003 Mount Union graduate, Can-dle was an All-Ohio Athletic Conference first-team selection in 2001 as he led the team in receptions (41), yards receiving (778) and touchdowns (9). He was a key member of the 2000 and 2001 national championship teams and finished his career with 57 grabs for 1,037 yards and 11 scores.

Candle, a native of Salem, OH, began his coaching career at Mount Union in 2003 as the receivers coach. In the 2004 and 2005 seasons, he worked with Campbell, who was the Purple Raiders’ offensive coordinator at the time. Candle took over the post of offensive coordinator in 2007, and also assumed the duties as the program’s re-cruiting coordinator. In Candle’s two seasons as offensive coordinator,

the Purple Raiders went 29-1, win-ning the national championship in 2008 and finishing as runners-up in 2007. Mount Union offensive players earned nine All-American honors in Candle’s two seasons running the of-fense. QB Greg Micheli was honored in 2008 with the Gagliardi Trophy, given annually to the best NCAA Di-vision III player in the nation. Candle also helped guide two Purple Raider receivers to All-American status dur-ing his time as the receivers coach from 2003-08. One of those All-American receivers, Pierre Garcon, is a starting wide receiver for the Wash-ington Redskins. The other was Cecil Shorts, a fourth-round draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2011. Candle and his wife Nicole were married in June of 2014.

Candle has coached 10 players who have played in the NFL.

Candle’s record at Toledo in eight years in the program is 66-35. In 14 years of coaching at the college level, Candle has been a part of 13 teams with win-ning records.

Jonesboro, AR - Junior quarterback Logan Woodside threw for a ca-reer-high 371 yards and three touchdowns and the Rocket defense domi-nated the Red Wolves’ offense as Toledo routed Arkansas State, 31-10, in the season opener for both schools at Centennial Bank Stadium in Jones-boro, AR on Sept. 2. The victory, Toledo’s third over ASU in the last three seasons, was the first regular-season win for head coach Jason Candle. Candle also coached the Rockets to victory in the final game of last season, a 32-17 triumph over Temple in the Marmot Boca Raton Bowl. Toledo dominated both sides of the ball, outgaining Arkansas State, 556-266, in total offense. At halftime, the Rockets had 293 yards of offense to just 80 for the Red Wolves. UT took a 21-3 lead into the locker room. Woodside sat out last season as a redshirt but hardly missed a beat. His passes threaded the needle and he made smart decisions when receiv-ers were covered. Junior Cody Thompson led the Rocket receivers with five receptions for a career-high 174 yards and a touchdown. All three of Toledo’s running backs contributed, with senior Damion Jones-Moore leading the way with 81 yards on 11 carries. Senior Kareem Hunt added 78 yards and a score, while junior Terry Swanson chipped in with 30. Toledo’s defense, which returned only three starters from last season, kept Arkansas State off balance all night. The Rockets held the Red Wolves to just 142 yards rushing on 38 carries. Sophomore defensive end Olasunk-anmi Adeniyi led the way with eight tackles, three tackles for loss and one sack. Toledo started out a little slow before finding its bearings. UT missed a chance to score first when Jameson Vest’s 40-yard attempt went wide right midway through the first quarter. Moments later, Arkansas State took advantage of a Rocket turnover and converted it into a 43-yard field goal by J.D. Houston to take a 3-0 lead with 1:17 left in the opening period. The Rockets struck back with three touchdowns in three consecutive possessions. The first score was a 75-yard drive that took 12 plays. Hunt got the drive going with a 19-yard run in which he bowled over a pair of Red Wolves before going down at the ASU 47-yard line. Six plays later, Wood-side found tight end Michael Roberts wide open for a five-yard score. Toledo made it 14-3 on its next drive, going 51 yards in 11 plays. Hunt capped it off with a dive from one-yard out. Moments later, Woodside hit Cody Thompson in the end zone for a 16-yarder that put UT up, 21-3. It was more of the same in the second half as the Rockets scored on their first two possessions to put the game on ice. Vest began the half with a 42-yard field goal. Roberts caught his second TD pass of the night, a 22-yard strike from Woodside that made the score 31-3. That play was set up by a 44-yard pass-and-catch over the middle by Thompson, who broke two tackles before being forced out of bounds at the ASU 21-yard line.

ROCKET ROUNDUP:The Rockets won their season opener for a third straight season. UT’s last loss in an opener was at No. 10 Florida by a 24-6 margin in 2013 ... Toledo leads the all-time series vs. Arkansas State by a 5-0 margin. The Rockets have defeated the Red Wolves in each of the last three years ... The Rock-ets have won nine straight road games dating back to the 2014 season ... Junior quarterback Logan Woodside threw for a career-high 371 yards by completing 23-of-31 passes for three touchdowns. Woodside’s previous best was 337 yards against Central Michigan on Sept. 27, 2014 ... Senior running back Kareem Hunt moved past Trinity Dawson (3,474 yds. – 2002-05) into 3rd place on UT’s career rushing list. He now has 3,548 yards in his Rocket career and trails only Chester Taylor (4,849 yds. – 1998-2001) and Wasean Tait (4,338 yds. – 1993-98) ... Hunt also registered his 35th career rushing touchdown to move into a tie for third place with Joe Schwartz (1970-72). Chester Taylor ranks first with 56 with Wasean Tait placing sec-ond with 38 scores ... Junior wide receiver Cody Thompson registered a career-best 174 receiving yards by hauling in five catches with one touch-down.

Toledo, OH - Junior quarterback Logan Woodside threw for 329 yards and four touchdowns to lead Toledo to a 45-3 victory over Maine at the Glass Bowl Saturday night. The Black Bears, a Division I-FCS school, held their own early on but could never sustain an offensive attack against a smothering Rocket de-fense. UT held Maine to 235 yards of total offense, scored a touchdown in the third quarter on a blocked punt and blocked a field goal in the final period. Woodside did much of his damage in the first half, connecting on long touchdown passes to Corey Jones (85 yards) and Cody Thompson (64) to propel Toledo to a 17-3 halftime lead. Jones led the Rockets with three catches for 100 yards. Senior Kareem Hunt led the rushing attack with 66 yards on 15 carries. For the second straight week, Toledo’s defense dominated the game. The Rockets, who beat Arkansas State 31-10 in their opener, have sur-rendered just 13 points in their first two wins. Junior linebacker Ja’Wuan Woodley led the way with eight tackles, two tackles for loss and a forced fumble, while senior defensive end John Stepec added six tackles and two TFL. Maine was limited to just 9-of-25 passing for 65 yards. Maine actually got on the board first, taking the opening kickoff 68 yards in 15 plays to set up a 29-yard field goal by Patrick Leonard. Toledo struck back quickly when Woodside hit Corey Jones over the middle and the senior sped down the field for an 85-yard score, giving the Rockets a 7-3 lead they held through the first quarter. The Black Bears missed an opportunity for points early in the second quarter when they recovered a fumbled Toledo punt on the UT 35-yard line. But Toledo stopped Maine on downs on a fourth-and-six play from the 31 yard-line. The Rockets then countered with a 14-play, 55-yard drive that culminated in a 31-yard field goal by Jameson Vest. After Maine was forced to punt on its next possession, the Rockets struck quickly, scoring on the first play of the next drive. Woodside hit Cody Thompson on a crossing pattern that the junior turned into a 64-yard touchdown, giving Toledo a comfortable 17-3 lead with 3:29 left in the half. Toledo blew the game open with three touchdowns in the third quar-ter. UT extended the lead to 24-3 on its second drive of the period when senior tight end Michael Roberts hauled in a 21-yard TD pass from Wood-side to finish off a 13-play, 84-yard drive. A little more than a minute later, Thompson blocked a Black Bear punt that was picked up by freshman Ron-nie Jones and returned for a 27-yard touchdown to make the score 31-3 with 4:21 left in the third quarter. Following a three-and-out by Maine, Woodside struck again, connecting with sophomore Jon’Vea Johnson for an 89-yard bomb to make it 38-3. Toledo’s defense continued its stinginess when Tuzar Skipper blocked a 35-yard field goal midway through the final quarter, giving UT a second-half shutout,

Toledo, OH - Junior quarterback Logan Woodside threw for 239 yards and four touchdowns while senior running back Kareem Hunt rushed for 123 yards and one score to lead Toledo to a 52-17 victory over Fresno State at the Glass Bowl on Sept. 19. Toledo held the Bulldogs to just 254 of total offense and 0-of-13 on third-down conversions. UT did not yield a first down until the 10-minute mark of the second quarter.

PROVO, UT – Junior Logan Woodside threw for a school record 505 yards and five touchdowns but it wasn’t enough as Toledo fell to BYU, 55-53, in Provo, UT on Sept. 30. The Cougars won the game on the final play of the game, a 19-yard field goal by Rhett Almond. Toledo had taken the lead with 1:11 to play on a seven-yard TD by Kareem Hunt and a two-point conversion from Wood-side to tight end Michael Roberts. Woodside connected on 30-of-38 passes. Sophomore Jon’Vea John-son had a career night, setting personal bests in receptions (9) and TD re-ceptions (3). Hunt rushed for 146 yards. BYU scored on the very first play from scrimmage, a 75-yard bomb from Taysom Hill to Jonah Trinnaman. Toledo answered with a 75-yard drive that took seven plays. Hunt had 27 rushing yards on three carries on the drive while Swanson hit pay dirt from eight yards out to make the score 7-7. The two teams exchanged punts before the Cougars struck again, this time on a seven-play, 72-yard drive capped by a one-yard run by Jamaal Williams to give BYU a 14-7 edge. On Toledo’s next possession, a deflection off a Woodside pass resulted in a BYU interception that was returned to the UT 13-yard line. Two plays later Williams scored again to make it 21-7 with 47 seconds left in the first quarter. But the Rockets responded on the next play from scrimmage when Woodside hit Jon’Vea Johnson with a 79-yard TD strike to shave the lead to seven points, 21-14 at the end of the first quarter. Toledo’s defense stepped up in the second quarter, forcing back-to-back three-and-outs. The Rockets’ offense took advantage as Woodside hit Corey Jones in stride for a 26-yard TD to tie the score 21-21. Toledo had a chance to extend the lead late in the half but Jameson Vest’s 40-yard field goal attempt was blocked. The back-and-forth nature of the contest continued in the second half. The Rockets took the opening kickoff in the second half and methodi-cally marched down the field, going 83 yards in nine plays to take a 28-21 lead. Woodside scrambled to hit left and hit Johnson for a 12-yard score, his second TD catch of the night. Toledo’s lead was short-lived, however, as Williams scored two plays later on a 45-yard touchdown run. But the Rockets answered with a 28-yard field goal by Vest to regain the lead, 31-28. BYU then countered with a 62-yard TD run by Williams down the left sideline to make the score 35-31 in favor of the Cougars. Moments later, Woodside hit Johnson for his third TD catch of the night to give Toledo a 38-35 lead with less than a minute left in the third quarter. BYU opened up the fourth quarter with a 17-yard touchdown run by Squally Canada to put the Cougars up 42-38.

Ypsilanti, MI – Junior quarterback Logan Woodside threw for 247 yards and four touchdowns to lead Toledo to a 35-20 victory over a stub-born Eastern Michigan squad in Ypsilanti on Saturday. The final outcome was not settled until Woodside connected with Co-rey Jones in the corner of the end zone from 12 yards out with 2:37 to play. A DeJuan Rogers’ interception on the ensuing drive eliminated any hopes of an Eagle comeback. Woodside, who leads the NCAA in passing efficiency, completed 25-of-31 passes. Junior Cody Thompson led the way with a career-high seven receptions for 126 yards and one TD. Senior Corey Jones also had seven catches and a score. Senior Kareem Hunt paced the running game with 141 yards and one TD. Toledo’s defense held EMU to 317 yards and forced two turnovers. The Eagles were just 2-of-10 on third-down conversions while Toledo was 11-of-17. Neither team could break into the scoring column in the first quarter. Toledo had a good chance on its first drive, moving 60 yards in 14 plays, but was stopped on downs at the EMU 15-yard line when Woodside’s pass to Corey Jones came up one yard short of the sticks. The Rockets finally broke through with 8:24 left in the second quarter when Woodside hit Jon’Vea Johnson for a 17-yard scoring strike to cap off a five-play, 46-yard drive. Eastern countered with a 34-yard field goal from Paul Fricano with eight seconds left in the first half. EMU cut the lead to one point, 7-6, on a 44-yard field goal by Fri-cano on the Eagles’ opening drive of the second half. Toledo came right back with a big play, a 63-yard touchdown bomb from Woodside to Cody Thompson. On the ensuing kickoff, EMU fumbled and UT’s Marcus Whit-field recovered on the Eagle 16-yard line. Three plays later, Hunt plowed in from two yards to make the score 21-6 with 8:24 left in the third quarter. The Eagles did not quit, however, putting together a seven-play, 72-yard drive to cut the lead to 21-13. Breck Turner scored on a three-yard run to cap the scoring drive. The teams exchanged punts over the next four possessions until UT struck again. Woodside hit tight end Michael Roberts in the corner of the end zone from 15 yards out to make the score 28-13 with 10:52 to play. Two minutes later, EMU quarterback Brogan Roback found Antoine Porter on a five-yard pass to cut the lead back to eight, 28-20. Toledo put the game away with a 14-play, 83-yard drive that ate up over six minutes off the clock before Woodside hit Jones for the final score of the game.

Toledo, OH –Senior running back Kareem Hunt scored on a three-yard run with 18 seconds left to give Toledo a thrilling 42-35 victory over arch-rival Bowling Green before a capacity Homecoming crowd of 30,147 at the Glass Bowl on Saturday. Junior quarterback Logan Woodside led the Rocket offense with 322 yards passing and four touchdown passes, three of them to senior tight end Michael Roberts, who set his career high for TD receptions. Roberts had six catches for 94 yards and senior Corey Jones added five receptions for 90 yards and one score.

Jones’ TD was a 64-yarder down the middle of the field that made the score 27-14 with two seconds left in the third quarter.But the Falcons struck back almost immediately, as Morgan hit Miller for his third TD catch two plays into the fourth quarter, a 57-yarder that pulled BG to within six, 27-21.

Toledo, OH –Junior wide receiver Cody Thompson caught four touchdown passes and the Rocket defense contained a dangerous Chippewa offense to help Toledo to a 31-17 victory over Central Michi-gan at the Glass Bowl Saturday afternoon. Thompson caught TD passes of 16, 16, 11 and 34 yards—all in the second half—from junior quarterback Logan Woodside to account for all of the Rockets’ 28 second-half points. Woodside completed 23-of-32 passes for 264 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. Thompson ended up with seven receptions and 122 receiving yards. Senior Kareem Hunt led the rushing attack with 87 yards.

Toledo, OH –Junior quarterback Logan Woodside threw for 438 yards and three touchdowns but was not able to rally the Rockets in the waning seconds as Toledo fell to Ohio, 31-26, at the Glass Bowl Thursday night. Trailing 31-20 late in the fourth quarter, the Rockets scored on a Woodside pass to sophomore Jon’Vea Johnson with just over three min-utes left to cut the lead to five points. However, a last-gasp drive with less than a minute left in the game came up short. Woodside connected on 32-of-46 passes and broke the UT record for touchdown passes in a season with 31. Johnson had six receptions for 156 yards and two touchdowns. Senior Corey Jones added seven catches for 115 yards and one TD. The game started out slowly as both teams failed to score in the first quarter, though Ohio had two great opportunities that went for naught. Papi White returned a punt 19 yards to the UT 27-yard line, but Ohio was pushed back six yards in three plays and forced to punt. On their next drive, the Bobcats moved down to the UT 17-yard line but a 31-yard loss on a bad snap pushed them out of scoring range. Ohio finally broke through with the first score of the game on a 57-yard TD bomb off a scramble from Quinton Maxwell to Kyle Belack with 9:17 left in the first half. Toledo countered with a 29-yard field goal by Jameson Vest to cut the lead to 7-3. But the Bobcats came right back when backup quarterback Sebastian Smith hit Greg Windham in the end zone for a 33-yard score to make the score 14-3 with 1:55 left in the half. Toledo used up the remaining time in the first half, moving the ball 38 yards in nine plays to set up a career-long 47-yard field goal by Vest to cut the lead to 14-6 at halftime. Toledo scored its first touchdown of the contest in the third quarter on a 98-yard bomb from Woodside to Johnson to trim the lead to 14-13. The pass was the longest play from scrimmage in UT history. Ohio came back with a big play of its own, a 25-yard TD connection from Maxwell to White to extend the lead to 21-13. But the Rockets landed another big punch moments later, a 24-yard TD from Woodside to Jones.

Chicago, IL – Logan Woodside threw for 286 yards and three touch-downs, and Kareem Hunt scored a late game-winning touchdown to lead Toledo to a 31-24 come-from-behind victory over Northern Illinois (3-7, 3-3 MAC) at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago Wednesday night. The Rockets trailed at halftime, 14-3, but outscored the Huskies, 28-10, in the final 30 minutes. Woodside, who leads the nation with 37 TD passes, completed 23-of-33 passes on the night. Two of his scoring strikes were to tight end Michael Roberts, who leads the Rockets with 11 TD receptions on the season. Hunt’s game-winning touchdown came with 1:15 left in the contest, finishing off a nine-play, 71-yard drive that broke a 24-24 tie. The big play of the drive was a 39-yard completion from Woodside to sophomore wide receiver Jon’Vea Johnson to the NIU six-yard line. NIU drew first blood in the contest, scoring on a one-yard TD pass from Ryan Graham to Shane Wimann in the waning moments of the first quarter. The drive was kept alive when Toledo was whistled for off-sides on a made 33-yard field goal attempt. Toledo countered on its next possession with a 10-play, 48-yard drive that ended with a 44-yard field goal by Jameson Vest, trimming the lead to 7-3 early in the second quarter. But the Huskies came right back with an-other long drive, this time culminating in a four-yard TD pass from Graham to Kenny Golladay to give NIU its 14-3 halftime edge. The Rockets came out firing in the second half, forcing NIU to punt after a three-and-out, then moving swiftly to score their first touchdown of the contest. Woodside connected with Roberts for a 27-yard touchdown, the sixth play in a 52-yard drive that cut the lead to 14-10. Northern Illinois had an immediate answer, however, marching down the field on its next possession to push the score to 21-10. But Woodside came right back moments later, hitting Jon’Vea Johnson for a 37-yard score to cut the lead to 21-17 with 3:23 left in the third quarter. NIU held onto its four-point lead until Woodside hit Roberts again, this time from five yards out, to give the Rockets their first lead, 24-21, with 12:32 remaining in the game. The Huskies eventually evened the score with 4:31 left on the clock with a 22-yard field goal by Christian Hagen. Toledo countered with their game-winning drive that ended with Hunt’s TD.

Toledo, OH –It was Senior Night for Toledo but the evening belonged to junior quarterback Logan Woodside, who threw for 325 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-19 Rocket victory over Ball State in a fog-filled Glass Bowl Wednesday night. Woodside, who leads the nation with 40 TD passes, set the UT single-season passing yardage record with 3,653, breaking the previous mark of 3,518 set by Bruce Gradkowski in 2004. More importantly, the victory kept the Rockets (9-2, 6-1 MAC) in the hunt for the MAC West Division title and a showdown with division leader Western Michigan on Nov. 25. Not to be overshadowed by Woodside, senior Kareem Hunt rushed for 107 yards and added a six receptions and a career-high 98 receiving yards.

Jon’Vea Johnson finished the drive by snagging a 28-yard pass from Woodside at the right edge of the end zone to give UT a 7-0 lead. Later in the quarter, Corey Jones returned a punt 63 yards to make the score 14-0. Toledo’s next score came after defensive end Zach Quinn recovered a Cardinal fumble, setting up a 37-yard field goal by Jameson Vest. Ball State (4-7, 1-6 MAC) got on the board with 10:40 left in the first half when Riley Neal hit Corey Lacanaria on a roll-out for a 10-yard score to cut the lead to 17-7. On the Cardinals’ next possession, Morgan Hagee knocked down a 24-yard field goal to make the score 17-10. Toledo an-swered with a 37-yard field goal by Vest with no time left on the clock to take a 20-10 lead into the locker room. Toledo wasted no time getting back on the board in the second half, as Woodside hit Hunt on a short pass on the second play from scrimmage that the senior took 71 yards for the score, putting UT up, 27-10. After a Ball State three-and-out, Vest added three more points on a career-long 49-yard field goal to give the Rockets a substantial 30-10 lead midway through the third period. Ball State trimmed the lead to 30-13 on a 37-yard field goal by Ha-gee, but UT came right back with a 42-yard bomb from Woodside to junior Cody Thompson to extend the lead to 37-13 late in the third quarter.

Kalamazoo, MI –Kareem Hunt rushed for a season-high 200 yards and picked up another 73 yards on three receptions but it wasn’t enough to slow down No. 14 Western Michigan as the Broncos rolled in the MAC West Division showdown, 55-35, at Kalamazoo Friday night. Western (12-0, 8-0 MAC) scored on an interception on the first play from scrimmage and never looked back. Hunt tried to keep the Rockets close in the first half, accounting for 173 of Toledo’s 197 first-half yards. His 38-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter cut the Bronco lead to 17-14 but UT would never get any closer. Woodside completed 13-of-24 passes for 229 yards and three touchdowns. Tight end Michael Roberts caught three TD passes, giving him 15 for the season which broke the school record of 14 set by Lance Moore in 2004. The Rockets got right off the mat after the early turnover, marching 75 yards in six plays to tie the score, 7-7. Hunt had a 41-yard reception and runs of 16 and 10 yards in the drive. Roberts capped off the drive with a nine-yard TD reception. The Broncos made it 14-7 with a 13-play, 81-yard drive that was fin-ished off by Jarvion Franklin’s 14-yard run up the middle with 5:18 left in the first quarter. One minute into the second quarter, the Broncos went up, 17-7, thanks to a 23-yard field goal by Butch Hampton. Hunt countered with a 38-yard touchdown run that he finished off with a dive just inside the pylon to cut the lead to 17-14 with 12:16 left in the half. Toledo then forced a WMU punt but was stopped on fourth-and-two at midfield. The Broncos then turned that defensive stop into seven points with an 11-play, 55-yard drive that culminated with a three-yard TD run up the gut by Franklin on third down, making the score 24-14 at the break. Western took the kickoff at the start of the third quarter and promptly marched 76 yards in 12 plays to push the lead out to 31-14. Corey Davis caught passes of 20, 17 and a one yards on the drive, the last one for the score. Following a Toledo punt, WMU moved quickly down the field again, scoring on a 27-yard run by Jamauri Bogan to make the score 38-14. WMU forced its second turnover of the game on a fumble by Wood-side following a sack. The Broncos recovered on the nine-yard line and scored on the next play, a nine-yard pass from Zach Terrell to Carrington Thompson. Roberts caught his second TD of the game, a three-yarder, early in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 45-21. WMU added to its lead with a 23-yard field goal by Hampton, growing the lead to 48-21. Roberts caught his third TD, a 21-yarder with 7:53 to play, to trim the lead to 48-28.

GAME 12 - WESTERN MICHIGAN 55 , TOLEDO 35

GAME 13 - APPALACHIAN STATE 31 , TOLEDO 28 Montgomery, AL – Senior Kareem Hunt rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns to become Toledo’s all-time leading rusher, but it wasn’t enough as Toledo fell to Appalachian State, 31-28, in the 2016 Raycom Me-dia Camellia Bowl in Montgomery, AL. App State scored on a 39-yard field goal with 5:14 left in the fourth quarter to give the Mountaineers a 31-28 lead. Toledo had its chance to tie the score but Jameson Vest’s 30-yard field-goal attempt with 1:48 remain-ing was wide right. Hunt led the rushing attack with 120 yards, giving him 4,945 career rushing yards, which breaks the all-time record at Toledo previously held by Chester Taylor (4,849 from 1998-2001). It was also the 28th 100-yard game in his career, breaking the school mark of 27 held by Taylor. Senior Logan Woodside connected 18-of-26 passes and added to his nation-leading total by throwing two touchdown passes. He leads the na-tion with 45 touchdown passes, two more than the No. 2 QB (Washington’s Jake Browning – 43). Junior Cody Thompson led the team with 99 yards on five receptions, giving him 1,269 on the season and surpassing the Toledo record of 1,194 set by Lance Moore in 2003. The contest was a close battle throughout the night with neither team leading by more than seven points. The score was tied at 7, 14, 21 and 28. The Mountaineers struck first, moving 72 yards on 10 plays in its first drive for the touchdown, a 16-yard pass from Taylor Lamb to Deltron Hop-kins. Toledo tied the score, 7-7, on a 15-yard scoring strike from Woodside to tight end Michael Roberts. The big play on that drive was a 58-yard bomb from Woodside to Corey Jones that set UT up at the App State 17-yard line. The teams traded three punts each before App State scored on a 13-yard run by Marcus Cox to give the Mountaineers a 14-7 lead with 6:03 to play in the second quarter. Toledo struck back when Hunt bolted 26 yards into the end zone to tie the score at 14-14. App State regained the lead on a 13-yard touchdown run by quarter-back Taylor Lamb on a fourth-and-one play with 8:04 to play in the third quarter. Later in the quarter, Toledo tied the score once again, 21-21, on a four-yard touchdown pass from Woodside to Cody Thompson. However, the Mountaineers wasted no time when Darrynton Evans returned the en-suing kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown. Toledo evened the score at 28-28 with a one-yard run by Hunt. The drive was set up by Woodside’s 58-yard pass to Thompson across the mid-dle of the field to the four-yard line. App State had a chance to take the lead with a 38-yard field goal attempt, instead the Mountaineers attempted a fake. The pass attempt fell incomplete giving the Rockets the ball on their own 21-yard line. The Mountaineers took advantage of a later opportunity and regained the lead with a 39-yard field goal by Michael Rubino. Toledo had a chance to win or tie on its final possession. Jones got UT in good field position with a 31-yard kickoff return to the UT 43-yard line. Toledo moved the ball to the ASU eight-yard line but the drive stalled, set-ting up Vest’s missed field-goal attempt.
