The Toledo Rockets have won one MAC title but they are certainly hungry for another. Toledo, winners of the MAC West Division title, will battle East Division champion Akron for the MAC Championship crown on Saturday, Dec. 2 at Ford Field in Detroit (Noon/ESPN).
Toledo (10-2, 7-1 MAC) defeated Western Michigan, 37-10, in the regular-season finale at the Glass Bowl on Nov. 24 to earn a berth into the league title game for the first time since 2004. It was UT's first outright division title since 1998.
The Rockets clinched the title by following the same formula that has worked for them all year—a balanced offense combined with a stingy defense.
