Toledo Post Game Notes
Toledo vs. Bowling Green
Nov. 14, 2023

• Toledo is 10-1 for the first time in Jason Candle’s eight years at Toledo and has won 10 of its 11 games in a season for the first time since going 11-0-1 in 1995.
• The Rockets have now won 10 straight games in a single season for the first time since 1971. That team went 12-0 in the third and final year of the famous 35-0 run from 1969-71 (Toledo won 12 straight games over two seasons in 2000 and 2001).
• Toledo is 7-0 in MAC play for the first time in school history, though it was also undefeated in MAC play in 1969, 1970 and 1971 (5-0 each year) and in 1995 (7-0-1).
• Junior quarterback Dequan Finn completed 20-of-30 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns.
• Toledo’s comeback from an 18-point deficit ranks as the seventh-largest comeback in school history. It is the second-largest comeback against BGSU, trailing only the 20-point rally in a 49-41 victory in 2004.
• The Toledo victory improves its record to 43-41-4 in the all-time series.
• Finn now has 506 rushing yards this season. It is the third straight season in which he has thrown for over 2000 yards and rushed for more than 500, the only Rocket quarterback to hit those milestones in multiple seasons. He is the sixth FBS quarterback this year with at least 2,000 passing yards and 500 rushing yards.
• Peny Boone rushed for 131 yards, giving him 1,173 for the season, which ranks 16^th for the most yards in a single season for a Rocket.
• Junior tight end Anthony Torres had three receptions for 71 yards, his fourth consecutive game with at least two catches. He also caught a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter.
• Freshman Emilo Duran’s 69-yard punt in the third quarter was his season-long boot. His previous long was 48 yards.
• Junior cornerback Quinyon Mitchell had two pass breakups, his 15^th and 16th of the season, giving him 44 for his career and pushing him past Samuel Womack (42 from 2017-21) as Toledo’s all-time leader.
• Junior Deshawn Holt had two sacks, his first game with multiple sacks in his career. He is the fourth different Rocket with at least two sacks in a game this year, joining Adrian Woliver, Jeremiah Peters, and Judge Culpepper (twice).
