The Mid-American Conference championship runs through Toledo.
In front of the largest Glass Bowl crowd since 2018, the Rockets demolished defending champion Miami, 30-20, and made a resounding statement.
“They all count as one,” Toledo coach Jason Candle said. “You guys predict who you think is going to be the best team in the league in the summer. You picked [Miami], and rightfully so. They won the conference championship. We beat them. It doesn’t mean we’re No. 1 and they stink. These are two really good football teams that have seven more games in front of them.
