The University of Toledo football team welcomes Northern Illinois today at the Glass Bowl. Here are three keys to the game:
1) Can UT establish its rushing game?: The Rockets, led by senior running back Terry Swanson, have run the ball very well in MAC play. Swanson is the MAC’s leading rusher at 104.0 yards per game and Shakif Seymour has been contributing as well. But Northern Illinois has a very talented front-7 that will look to shut down the UT running attack.
2) Can UT pass protect for Logan Woodside?: Northern Illinois sophomore defensive end Sutton Smith has already recorded 9.
