Season Summary
The Rockets (7-5, 5-3 Mid-American Conference) and Blue Raiders (6-6, 4-4 Conference USA) arrive at the Bahamas Bowls converging from different paths.
Toledo flirted with a 10+ win season in 2021, coming heartbreakingly-close in four contests that the Rockets’ lost by a combined nine points, including a three-point loss to fifth-ranked Notre Dame, two-point loss to MAC champion Northern Illinois, and a three-point loss to 2021 MAC West co-champs Central Michigan.
