Game day preview: Toledo football vs. Central Michigan

One minute, Toledo was inching toward a massive come-from-behind victory 4,000 miles from home.

The next minute, the UT defense collapsed during the most important moment of the game.

That's what happened last week in San Diego when the Rockets lost to San Diego State.

“It’s tough seeing how everything can change so fast,” defensive tackle Desjuan Johnson said.

But the beauty of sports is that the narrative can quickly turn in the opposite direction. Toledo has that opportunity on Saturday against Central Michigan.

Beat the Chippewas, and the Rockets not only feel good about themselves, they'll also have a victory out of the way against one of the Mid-American Conference West's top teams.
