The University of Toledo has a challenging nonconference schedule this season before the Rockets enter the Mid-American Conference portion of the schedule. The Rockets will try to repeat as MAC champions, and that will begin with a opener against VMI on Sept. 1 at the Glass Bowl. Here is a look at the top five games of the season for Toledo:
1) Miami (Fla.) (Sept. 15) – It’s not very often you see a big-time program like Miami agree to a road contest against a MAC team. After hanging with the Hurricanes for a half last season in Miami (the Rockets ended up losing 52-30), Toledo has its sights set on a major upset in front of what should be a capacity crowd.
