A series that Toledo previously owned has become an Ohio winning streak.
The Bobcats, after losing 12 consecutive games from 1988-2010, have won the two most recent meetings against the Rockets. No one will confuse Tuesday’s game with the meaningful tilts in 2016 and 2017 — both Ohio wins — but there is plenty left to play for in 2021.
Ohio has won its last two games after starting 1-7 and can still finish 5-3 in the Mid-American Conference East. Toledo needs one win for bowl eligibility and is in the process of building a blueprint for the 2022 offense.
