Rising programs led by strong rushing attacks collide Tuesday when the Toledo Rockets encounter the No. 24 Temple Owls in the Boca Raton Bowl.
Temple, led by coach Matt Rhule, stands as one of the nation's better turnaround stories. He's taken the program from a two-win season to a .500 showing to this year's 10-win outburst and national ranking.
Toledo sports nine wins, and while it came up short in the MAC this year, there's a new buzz around coach Jason Candle and a dominant rushing attack on the hunt to play spoiler and seize some national limelight.
