With the non-conference portion of the season in their rear-view mirror, the Toledo Rockets open Mid-American Conference play against an up-and-coming Eastern Michigan squad. Toledo hosts the Eagles in its annual Homecoming game on Saturday, Oct. 7 (noon on CBS Sports Network).
Toledo (3-1) had an extra week to prepare for EMU thanks to a bye last week. UT's most recent game was a 52-30 defeat at No. 14 Miami (Fla.) on Sept. 23. Senior quarterback Logan Woodside threw for 342 yards but it wasn't enough to overcome the Hurricanes. Toledo led at the half, 16-10, but Miami controlled the final 30 minutes of the contest.
