The non-conference slate is almost finished for the defending MAC champions. Toledo checks into Week 5 with a 2-1 record, but the Rockets are about to embark on a journey the 2018 team hasn’t experienced yet — playing on the road.
Toledo’s high-powered offense ousted VMI (66 points scored) and Nevada (63 points) at the Glass Bowl, but the unit couldn’t keep up pace with the Miami Hurricanes. The Rockets were clearly better than VMI and Nevada, winning by 63 and 19, respectively. In their one loss, Miami spoiled Toledo’s home-field advantage with a lopsided 49-24 win.
So, there’s one other experience 2018 Toledo has yet to witness — playing in a close game.
