Ready or not, it’s time for the Mid-American Conference championship game.
Toledo and Ohio meet at Ford Field next Saturday in a game that will make each team’s season if it wins. A loss for the Rockets would be especially disastrous after starting the season 7-3.
The Bobcats are attempting to win their first conference title since 1968.
Both teams enter the game with banged-up quarterbacks. Ohio starter Kurtis Rourke is out for the season, and Toledo’s Dequan Finn could be starring at a similar status.
Ford Field will play host to arguably the best offense (Ohio) and the best defense (Toledo) in the conference, setting up an appropriate showdown of strength vs strength.
