After a successful 9-3 season, the University of Toledo has been invited to a bowl game for the sixth year in a row. This year, the Rockets will head to Montgomery, Alabama to take on the Appalachian State Mountaineers. This is the first time the two teams have ever faced each other, but there will be some familiar faces on the opposing side for head coach Jason Candle and other UT players.
The Mountaineers are coached by Scott Satterfield, who was an assistant coach for the Rockets in 2009 under Tim Beckman. Also on that staff was the Rockets’ current head Coach Jason Candle.
