Boca Raton Bowl: Toledo 21, Liberty 19
Jason Candle gained his very first sport as Toledo’s coach within the Boca Raton Bowl again in 2017, taking down Temple in a driving rainstorm. The rain was again once more on Tuesday evening as Toledo confronted Liberty in the exact same bowl, and as soon as once more it was the Rockets outlasting their opponents to the notch the second bowl win of the Candle period. It was a robust end to a season that noticed Candle win a second MAC championship, and simply in like that title sport win towards Ohio, the recipe was a stout protection and simply sufficient performs from quarterback
Liberty’s early benefit and late cost in a detailed loss had been spectacular contemplating this system is within the midst of a training change with Hugh Freeze off to Auburn and Jamey Chadwell taking on heading into 2023. Freeze’s absence was significantly notable as he was additionally the play-caller for the offense, although the most important on-field storyline was largely how each defenses held a bonus many of the evening. Chadwell was in attendance to assist and promote Liberty soccer, however his offensive affect didn’t seem like on show within the sport.
Candle, who was promoted after Matt Campbell’s departure to Iowa State, has misplaced 4 straight bowl video games since making his teaching debut again within the 2017 Boca Raton Bowl. The Rockets had been favored in all 4, simply as they had been on Tuesday towards Liberty, so when issues began going sideways early it was value questioning whether or not Toledo was going to return up brief within the postseason once more. The primary-half drives for Toledo included three punts, one turnover on downs, one discipline aim and 0 touchdowns, giving the impression that Finn and the offense wouldn’t have the ability to transfer the ball towards the Flames protection.
However that narrative flipped on the primary drive of the second half as Finn led the Rockets on a 75-yard drive over 13 performs that ended with a landing toss to Lenny Kuhl to provide Toledo a 10-7 lead.
Liberty had its fair proportion of self-inflicted wounds all through the third quarter, limiting its means to reply and creating extra scoring alternatives for Toledo. There was a fumble deep in Liberty territory that arrange a Toledo discipline aim and a number of penalties that turned a landing alternative right into a discipline aim try that was missed. It regarded just like the Flames had been cooked till connecting on a pair of fourth quarter landing passes.
Whereas Toledo is pleased to snap a four-game bowl shedding streak, Liberty missed out on a possibility to change into simply the second program in FBS historical past to win a bowl sport in every of the college’s first 4 years of bowl eligibility. The Flames fall to 3-1 in bowl video games total, whereas Toledo is now 11-9 total in bowl video games and 4-6 since 2010.

After losing to Dowling Catholic, the Tigers have secured victories against ranked teams. Their latest conquest was against 23rd-ranked Waukee Northwest, wherein Drake DeGroote completed three touchdown passes to Zay Robinson. Valley can extend their winning streak to five games against Waterloo West.
The Maroons survived the fierce opposition ushered in by fifth-ranked Ankeny Centennial in a match that needed three overtime periods to be settled. Dowling Catholic showed resilience despite a 21-3 halftime deficit and scoring their first touchdown with six minutes left in the third quarter. Overcoming that test of character should give the Maroons confidence in their upcoming match against Urbandale.
The Dragons are flying again after clinching their third consecutive victory against ranked opponents. This time, they’ve shut out eighth-ranked Southeast Polk, thanks to their defense, ranked fourth in Iowa high school football. After limiting Ankeny, Waukee, and Southeast Polk to 14 points, Johnston should have no problems defeating Urbandale on the road.
The Bulldogs remain undefeated after five games and haven’t allowed 20 points to an opponent since their season opener against sixth-ranked Pleasant Valley. Bettendorf’s latest result was a 33-14 masterpiece over Kennedy, a game practically over by halftime when the Bulldogs established a 27-6 lead. Bettendorf can improve to 6-0 by defeating Davenport Central this week.
The Jaguars could not translate their fantastic start against Dowling Catholic into a victory. Failing to close out the Maroons after three overtimes handed them their second consecutive defeat. However, they remain in the top ten and could bounce back with easier matchups against Roosevelt and Waukee Northwest over the next two weeks.
In their last match, the Spartans surrendered 28 points to Cedar Falls. While that’s a concern, the second-best offense in Iowa high school football scored a season-high 52 points. Pleasant Valley is on a groove, scoring 101 points in their two previous games. In that case, they should have no problems maintaining the momentum against Muscatine.
After starting the season at 1-3, the Hawks have won two consecutive games, beating Iowa City West and Prairie by a combined score of 73-38. However, their schedule gets more challenging as they face 11th-ranked Liberty and top-ranked Valley in their following two assignments.
The Rams’ shutout loss to Johnston halted their winning streak. That result also brings their record against the top ten teams to 2-2. It’s also a total contrast to their 48-3 win over Sioux City East the week before. Southeast Polk should make a better effort in the next two weeks to defeat No. 13 Waukee and second-ranked Dowling Catholic. Those games are perfect for the Rams’ defense to prove why they are Iowa high school football’s top-ranked defense.
The Titans have scored over 50 points in back-to-back games, defeating Jefferson 56-6. The week before, they scored 55 on Glenwood. Lewis Central can keep their hopes for a perfect season intact by defeating Winterset, Norwalk, and Dallas Center-Grimes in their next three games.
The Comets flew to the top ten after a 29-8 victory over Ballard Community. North Polk’s defense has intensified, allowing only 33 points in its last three games. Before that run, they gave up 68 points to Bondurant-Farrar and Carlisle combined. On deck for the Comets are Indianola this week and Boone on the 18th.

“I think for Payton we all have an expectation, you know, when your best player comes back and lead the league in made threes, well, he’s going to make more threes and he’s going to get more rebounds.
“The thing I’ve been impressed with is he was a really good rebounder last year. He’s a special offensive rebounder.
“A lot of shooters just don’t do that. They hang around on the perimeter, and that’s that. Throw me the ball, and I’ll shoot it in the hole for you.
“He does that, but he’s done more off the dribble. He’s done more passing to open people and reading situations, which is what you would expect from a senior.
“Think about him. Freshman year he played a lot. He was on the Big Ten Championship team. Sophomore year, Rookie of the Year in the league. Last year led the league in made threes, was an All-League player.
“Now, I think how do you go from being a second- or third-team All-League player to first-team? Obviously it’s consistency of effort and performance, and he is going to work harder.”
