Going into the season, I was hopeful that Toledo would be the same, or better, on offense and better on defense. I was fearful the offense wouldn’t quite be the same and the defense would take a step back. After this game, I am fairly certain they are pretty much the same team they were last season.
This particular game was almost an exact replay of the BYU thriller from a year ago, except the Rockets were at home in this one, and won. Toledo produced 679 total yards, which is amazing. They gave up 548, 423 of which came on the ground.
