behind character defense definitely far fell finished game half hole pressure
We definitely showed a lot of character and resiliency to come back. But Toledo's pressure defense put us in a big hole in the first half. We had 14 turnovers in the first half and we finished the game with 16. That's why we fell so far behind and that's why we were able to come back.
