It is difficult to imagine a worse ending than that.
The Rockets just humiliated BG last night at Savage. The 40-point margin is their largest win in the rivalry, by 15 points or so, by my count. Even at the program's lowest points, like early in the Haley or Dakich years, this kind of loss did not occur to Toledo.
It was BG's worst defensive game since a 2018 game....at Savage Hall. Meanwhile, the only worse offensive game this year was Ohio State.
Look, UT is better than BG, there isn't any doubt about that. The first game was only 13 points, and BG was short-handed. This is something else. It was a team that completely failed to show up. It was a low point for the program. Honestly, I can't imagine a point where it was much worse.
It's Saturday morning. The sun did come up.
The program has a huge amount of uncertainty. This won't help. Will BG buy out 3 years of Huger's salary? Prior to last night, I would have thought the answer was no, but this might have pushed key supporters over the edge. If Huger is back, can he turn this around? Will guys transfer? How will we rebuild our talent base without going to 5 transfers, like we did this year? Or are we in a rebuild situation (and if so, should a new coach do that)? What is the path to being competitive every (or most) seasons, like the top teams in the MAC are....UT, UA, KS, UB, OU?
It is difficult to imagine a worse ending than that.
