Toledo beats No. 24 Temple in Boca Raton Bowl 32-17

BOCA RATON, Fla. -- The Boca Raton Bowl trophy ceremony ended in heavy rain, and Toledo coach Jason Candle walked off the field soaking wet, declining the offer of a towel with a grin. "Towels aren't going to do me much good now," Candle said. Soggy weather couldn't dampen the celebratory mood for the Rockets, who won Candle's first game as head coach Tuesday night, beating No. 24 Temple 32-17. Phillip Ely threw for 285 yards and two touchdowns, including an 80-yarder to Cody Thompson . Candle called plays from the press box, as he has done all season. He was promoted from offensive coordinator three weeks ago when Matt Campbell took over at Iowa State. "You couldn't write a script like this," Candle said. "When people fall into positions like this, most of the time those programs aren't in very good shape, but Matt Campbell left this place in great shape.
