Toledo, OH - The Toledo Rockets stepped onto the practice field for their official opening of 2017 training camp on Monday morning with a pair of split-session practices. The team will have their first full practice on Saturday.
Toledo, the preseason favorite to win the Mid-American Conference Championship, opens its season in exactly one month, a home contest vs. Elon on Aug. 31. Despite the preseason accolades, head coach Jason Candle said the Rockets have plenty to improve on.
"There's a lot of work to be done," said Candle. "On defense, we need to stop the run and do a better job taking the football away.
