Toledo hosts Western Michigan in early MAC West showdown

The University of Toledo and Western Michigan were considered two of the top teams in the Mid-American Conference in the preseason.

As both teams try to navigate their way through the conference schedule and earn a trip to Detroit for the MAC championship game, they will meet in an early-season test Saturday at the Glass Bowl.

For Toledo (3-1), it's the conference opener, while Western Michigan (3-2, 1-0 MAC) is coming off a win over rival Central Michigan last week.

“It's the conference opener, and those always have their own set of challenges,” Toledo coach Jason Candle said.
