Scouting report: Toledo football at Northern Illinois

For the second consecutive week, Toledo will play the biggest game of its season.

The Rockets began their Mid-American Conference schedule with a rousing homecoming victory over Central Michigan, a 60-minute demolition that offered a glimpse of what many thought UT could be this season.

Now, it's off to DeKalb, Ill., a place Toledo knows well and a site that's derailed several seasons in the past 15 years. If UT can give a repeat performance of last week's win against the Chippewas, I-75 from Toledo to Detroit could be paved in midnight blue and gold.
