Former Franklin County star Logan Woodside ties Toledo record with 6 TDs

Logan Woodside tied a school record with six touchdown passes and Jameson Vest’s 33-yard field goal as time expired lifted Toledo to a 54-51 comeback win on Saturday night against Tulsa.

“It was awesome,” Woodside told the Toledo Blade. “That was probably one of the most fun games I’ve been a part of .... to come out and get a win was huge for this team and program. That was a really good team we beat tonight.”

From the shotgun, the former Franklin County star threw his sixth score, a 74-yard bomb just before getting pounded to the turf, to Diontae Johnson to put Toledo out front 51-44 with 8:04 left. Woodside threw a 49-yard strike to Johnson two minutes earlier, and the 2-point conversion tied the game at 44.

Shamari Brooks’ 1-yard dive for Tulsa knotted the game at 51 to end a 14-play, 81-yard drive with 2:47 remaining. Toledo (3-0) drove 58 yards in eight plays to set up Vest’s kick.

Brooks’ 8-yard scoring run with 5:01 before halftime put Tulsa (1-2) ahead 28-7. The 21-point deficit is tied for the third-largest comeback win in Toledo’s history.

Woodside tied Bruce Gradkowski’s 6 TD feat which he accomplished twice. Woodside was 22 for 33 with 458 yards.

Cody Thompson had nine receptions for 178 yards and three scores and Johnson had four catches for 142 yards and two scores. Terry Swanson ran for 139 yards on 19 carries and a score.
