AMHERST, Mass. — Buckets of rain never made their way to McGuirk Alumni Stadium on Saturday, but that didn’t change the University of Toledo’s game plan.
Facing one of the nation’s worst rush defenses, the Rockets chose to run the ball. Again and again and again.
When all was said and done, UT had a 41-24 victory over Massachusetts and 375 rushing yards, its most since 2019. The Rockets averaged 9.6 yards per carry.
“We had a good rushing plan leading into the game,” Toledo coach Jason Candle said. “I’m excited to be able to have the offensive performance we had and get a road win.
