Each week, The Blade will recap the most interesting Toledo football grades released by Pro Football Focus, the scouting website that evaluates players’ performance on every play of every game. For context, grades are based on a 0-100 scale.
Toledo (88.7): Through two games, the Rockets have graded out as the No. 23 team in the country, according to PFF, only two spots below Ohio State. UT’s placement is mostly on the back of its vaunted defense, which ranks fourth overall. For Jason Candle and Co. the rating is encouraging, considering the offense hasn’t found its groove yet.
