Miami Football: 3 Takeaways from Canes win over Toledo

1. Logan Woodside can hang with the Power 5

The Toledo Rockets senior quarterback Logan Woodside threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns against the Miami Hurricanes’ defense. That’s a defense that was supposed to be in the top three in the ACC, but has looked anything but spectacular so far in 2017. Bethune Cookman and Toledo have picked apart the Miami pass coverage to pick up third downs and yards at an alarming rate.

Woodside is a 6-foot-2, 200 pound passer from Kentucky that wasn’t highly recruited coming out of high school. He’s developed wonderfully into an elite quarterback and NFL prospect. Woodside has thrown for 300+ against Miami, 500+ against BYU as a junior and for 7,600+ yards and 73 touchdowns over his career.

Toledo head football coach Jason Candle was a two-time national champion wide receiver at Mount Union down in the D3 ranks before becoming a Mount Union Coach. He moved up the ladder extremely fast to become the Rockets’ head football coach. Candle hasn’t turned 40 yet and has served as an FBS head coach for going on three seasons now. In this short time he’s turned Woodside into a highly touted quarterback and that can only mean he’ll be on the short list for a major job in 2018.
