Toledo has an opportunity to build a 2-0 record in the Mid-American Conference, with both wins coming against MAC West foes.
Nothing is taken for granted, though, in the ultra-competitive MAC, where the gap between the best and worst teams is smaller than in any other conference. A second win would act as a continuation of confidence building and give UT breathing room with back-to-back MAC road games coming in October.
The challenge, of course, is to tame Northern Illinois, which has not lost consecutive games to UT since 2016-17.
Here’s what to know about the matchup:
Who: Northern Illinois (1-3) at Toledo (3-1)
When: 3:30 p.
