The last time we saw the University of Toledo football team, Cody Thompson was swiping the ball off the punter’s foot and the Rockets smashed VMI. Thanks to an odd early-season bye week, that was nearly two weeks ago.
And boy, is this Saturday going to be different.
Maybe the overmatched opponent in Week 1 and a bye last week will help give the Rockets (1-0) more time to prepare for No. 21 Miami (1-1), which visits the Glass Bowl at noon Saturday. Or perhaps that lack of ultra competitive activity will have dulled UT a bit.
