MOBILE, Ala. — The University of Toledo football team arrived in Mobile, Ala., on Tuesday afternoon and will begin bowl practices Wednesday at UMS-Wright Preparatory School.
The Rockets face Appalachian State on Saturday in the Dollar General Bowl.
While the scenery has shifted, Rockets players believe the practice routine will remain similar to the one used during the regular season.
“It’s just the scene; the different place where we practice,” UT senior offensive lineman Elijah Nkansah said. “Practice stays the same, tempo stays the same. Nothing is really different except for where we are.”
After the Mid-American Conference championship game win over Akron, UT coach Jason Candle said he gave the players a few days off in the midst of a busy December for players with classes winding down and preparation for final exams and for coaches with recruiting demands related to the early signing period.
