The Toledo Rockets travel up US-23 to Ypsilanti, Michigan, where they will face the Eagles of Eastern Michigan in Rynearson Stadium. Both teams are 5-3 overall heading into this contest, but Toledo currently holds an edge in their MAC record, sitting at 3-1, while EMU sits at 2-2.
This makes winning tantamount to EMU to keep pace in the division, as a win would essentially secure them control of their destiny if they win out. Toledo, on the other hand, wants to strengthen its grip on the division, and a win vs. EMU would give them a good tiebreaker.
