Reigning MAC champ Toledo off to worst start in decade

Anyone who has been to Detroit lately knows how hard it is to get back.

The Toledo football team is no different.

Only unlike the rest of us, the Rockets don’t have the Thousand Years’ War — Michigan vs. its roads — to blame.

A year after Toledo’s big celebration in Motown, the reigning MAC champions were assured Saturday there will be no return trip.

In a bellwether showdown against the class of the conference, the Rockets belonged in a different school in their 31-17 loss to Buffalo, so overmatched were they in a game the visitors had 32 first downs to their eight.
