University of Toledo football coach Jason Candle has said he wants his offense to be balanced. Even with senior quarterback Logan Woodside running the offense with a talented group of receivers, Candle and his staff recognize the importance of establishing a run game.
Against Elon, Toledo ran the ball 41 times for 239 yards and passed the ball 34 times for 314 yards. Being that the game was a blowout for most of the second half, it lent itself to more rushing attempts for the Rockets.
At 5.8 yards per carry, Toledo found success with a mix of three running backs.
