First the first time, Toledo gets to play at the legendary Guarantee Rate Field, home of the Chicago Whitesox. They will be facing an NIU team that started off slow, but has racked up 3 wins in their last 5 games. One of those losses was in overtime to CMU, and the other was a 45-30 loss to WMU, who is beating everyone.
Toledo is 7-2 on the season. After suffering their second setback of the year to Ohio, they got back to their winning ways with a 48-17 victory over Akron.
This is an important game for the Rockets.
