MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — Where does Toledo turn from here?
If the Central Michigan game was a must-win for the Rockets, the importance of this week’s meeting with Western Michigan cannot be overstated.
The performance from Toledo in recent weeks has been shocking. This is the most talented team in the Mid-American Conference, a program that has signed the top class in the MAC for five consecutive years. The Rockets returned all of their starters from 2020, a six-game snapshot that gave reason to be optimistic about 2021.
While the defense has maintained and even increased its level of play, the offense has languished.
