Toledo enters the 2019 campaign with high expectations—and a big challenge in week one—when it travels to Lexington for a date with the Kentucky Wildcats on Aug. 31 (Noon/SEC Network).
The Rockets were picked to win the West Division of the Mid-American Conference. But that means little to head coach Jason Candle and his squad as they prepare for the task of battling an SEC team on its home turf.
Toledo returns 13 starters from last year's 7-6 squad, and just four from the 2017 team that won a MAC Championship title. However, the Rockets have talent and depth at almost every position.
