Toledo will not need any motivation on Saturday, as it's presented with an opportunity to get a win that will be discussed from coast to coast.
The Rockets only get these chances once per year, and this will be just the sixth-ever matchup with a team from the SEC. Usually, part of the recipe for victory in upsets is for the favorite to take the underdog lightly. Will Mississippi State take that path?
The coaches won't. But it's not always easy for players to heed advice when they look at the name on a jersey. UT has won against numerous power conference opponents, including SEC foe Arkansas.
