A guy named Phil is high on Toledo football this season.
Fitting, right?
When it comes to preseason buzz around the Rockets, it can feel a lot like Groundhog Day.

He’s all but strapping a rocket to them.
Steele has UT at No. 25 in his preseason rankings and behind only Boise State among its Group of 5 peers.
