Coach Duggs: Homecoming – Toledo vs. Eastern Michigan

#2 Toledo took on unranked Eastern Michigan tonight in a bid to keep their perfect season intact.

It was a home game for Toledo and they were heavy favorites even though Central Michigan came into the game with a 7-2 record.

As usual Duggs started the game by calling on RB Bam Bam Calloway, QB Cade Shippley found him for an 18 yard reception.

Passes to WR Prince Fontana and WR Ken Moore kept the chains moving for Toledo on their first drive.

Bam Bam rushed for 10 yards, TE Bubba Butt got a 20 yard reception, and the Rockets were rolling.

Shippley found WR Sisqo Bey for an 8 yard reception, and Toledo were on the goal-line.

Shippley ran it in for a TD on the following play.

Absolute clinic on the first drive for Toledo.

7-0 Duggs.

A Robert Roberto sack forced Eastern Michigan into 3rd and 19 on their first drive.

Star QB Travis Wesley wasn’t able to convert on 3rd and long after a short pass from RB Ryan Holmes, and Eastern Michigan punted.

Toledo responded with a 20 yard pass from Shippley to Butt and next play was a 19 yard pass from Shippley to Butt again.

Duggs was heard saying, “Air Duggs is back!”

A 15 yard reception in the flat from Bam Bam brought Toledo to a 1st and goal.

An 8 yard receiving TD from Ken “The Microwave” Moore made it:

14-0 Toledo.

Holmes scampered for 14 yards as Eastern Michigan desperately tried to get some momentum going.

Wesley found WR Stanley Holmes for 14 yards and TE Cody Wilson for another 12 on 2 straight plays.

Toledo dropped an easy interception of Wesley in the endzone.

Star RB Jason Chambers took a screen pass 8 yards to give Eastern Michigan 4th and 2 from the 5.

Welsey threw an interception on Eastern Michigan’s first play of the 2nd half and it felt like that basically sealed the win for Toledo.

A long, 10 play and 77 yard drive from Eastern Michigan ended with Wesley finding Jason Slater for a 4 yard TD.

A 26 yard TD pass to Tony Quinn turned this into something beyond a blowout.

The 2 point conversion for the 50 Burger failed.

Central Michigan WR Bo Harrell picked up a meaningless 34 yard TD on a drive I barely watched … Can you blame me? It was a snooze fest at this point.
