University of Toledo senior quarterback Mitch Guadagni has yet to play a significant role in the Battle of I-75 game against rival Bowling Green.
He backed up Logan Woodside for much of his early career at Toledo and he was in line to start last year's game as a junior but suffered a concussion the week prior at Fresno State and was unavailable for the team's home win.
Guadagni entered the 2017 game in a reserve role and completed one pass for 16 yards.
But just because he has seen very limited time on the field in the rivalry doesn't mean Guadagni is any less aware of the history or the tradition of the game and what it means to the northwest Ohio community.
