The Toledo Rockets weren’t being given much of a chance to hang with Ohio State at Ohio Stadium this Saturday, despite a history of giving BCS conference opponents trouble on the road. That had something to do with Toledo never scoring on the Buckeyes in the Horseshoe entering today. But, hey, things change!
Ohio State Vs. Toledo Score: Rockets Get First Points, Lead At Ohio Stadium
Toledo scored its first ever touchdown against Ohio State in the first quarter at Ohio Stadium on a six-yard pass from Austin Dantin to Eric Page, then decided to go for two. The Rockets made that work, too, with Page finding Hank Keighly for the two-point conversion, giving the Rockets their first score and first lead against the mighty Buckeyes in one fell swoop.
If Toledo can, improbably, hold that 8-7 lead, the Rockets will be doing more than breaking through against Ohio State; they could end an incredible OSU streak, too. The Buckeyes haven’t lost to a team from the state of Ohio since a 1921 loss to Oberlin.
