It’s last year’s MAC champion pitted up against this year’s MAC frontrunner.
The Bulls and Rockets seem to be trending in opposite directions at the moment. Buffalo (6-1) is the lone one-loss team in the conference. Buffalo squashed Akron 24-6 and continue to fit the part as the new conference favorites.
Toledo (3-3) has already matched its loss total from a season ago, nearly staging a 25-point comeback in a road loss to Eastern Michigan last week. Jason Candle’s Rockets have suffered at halting the run and that shortcoming has contributed to a .500 at the midway point of the season.
