Toledo finished 7-6 overall and were 5-3 in the MAC in 2021, good enough for third place in the MAC West.
Their ultimate standing was not due to lack of effort on the offensive end; the Rockets netted 435.2 yards per game overall, good enough for third overall in the MAC, and was the best scoring offense in the MAC as well, averaging over 31 points per contest. They faced Middle Tennessee in the Bahamas Bowl after falling short of the MAC title run, falling to the Blue Raiders by a touchdown with a final score of 31- 24.
