BOWLING GREEN — This has to be the Toledo football team’s year, right?
With the Rockets’ 66-37 demolition of Bowling Green on Wednesday, here we are again, the eternal bridesmaids on the doorstep of either their first Mid-American Conference championship since 2004 or more heartache.
The path has never been so clear. Toledo (9-2, 6-1 MAC) needs only to beat five-loss Western Michigan at home next Friday to clinch a trip to the league title game, where it likely will play Akron, which stunned MAC East favorite Ohio earlier this week. Yes, that’s the same five-loss Zips team the Rockets throttled by four touchdowns last month.
