1 This Saturday’s matchup between Toledo and Ak- ron is a battle between two Mid-American Confer- ence teams at the top of their divisions. The Rockets are 2-0 and tied for first in the West Division with Northern Illinois, while the Zips are 3-0 and alone at the top of the East. Toledo (5-1, 2-0 MAC) showed its versatility in a 30-10 win over Central Michigan last week. The top passing team in the league, the Rockets went to its running game vs. the Chippewas due to rainy and windy weather, and the move paid off. Toledo racked up a season-high 310 yards rushing, includ- ing 145 from senior Terry Swanson and 119 from redshirt freshman Shakif Seymour. On the other side of the ball, the Rockets’ defense held CMU to just 62 yards rushing and intercepted two passes in what may have been its best performance of the season. The Rockets continue to lead the MAC in total offense, averaging 489.5 yards per game. Toledo features the league’s top passer in Logan Woodside (287.3 yards per game) and rusher in Swanson (100.0). Akron (4-3, 3-0 MAC) is coming off a 14-13 victory at Western Michigan on Sunday. The game was moved due to flooding at Waldo Stadium on Saturday. The Zips are led by senior quarterback Thomas Woodson, who has thrown for 1,251 yards and nine TDs. Junior linebacker Ulysees Gilbert is second in the MAC in tack- les, averaging 9.7 stops per game. 2017 Toledo Football Schedule Date Opponent Time Aug. 31 ELON (ESPN3) W, 47-13 Sept. 9 at Nevada (ESPN3) W, 37-24 Sept. 16 TULSA (ESPN3) W, 54-51 Sept. 23 at #14 Miami (Fla.)

TO L E D O G A M E N OT E S

The University of Toledo foot-ball program hosted its fourth annual “Victory Day” for special needs students from Toledo area schools in the Glass Bowl on Aug. 19. Participating students met UT football players, ran drills and heard their names announced over the public address system as they scored a touchdown. Victory Day is an opportu-nity for special needs students to have their “moment in the sun” on the football field. Each student was partnered with a UT football player who served as his or her mentor for the day. Victory Day athletes wore Rocket team jerseys and were pre-sented with medals at the end of

the day to commemorate their victo-ry. Toledo football players, cheerlead-ers, Rocky the Rocket and marching band members were also on hand to cheer on the participants. “It certainly is a fun day for our players and for the kids in the com-munity,” said UT head coach Jason

Candle. “We get to share a mean-ingful experience with these kids. Our players really love to do it. We’re in the middle of preseason camp, and sometimes players can start to feel a little sorry for themselves -- they’re in pain or their legs hurt. But this is an eye-opening experience. Our players our blessed to have their oppor-tunities. This is a great reminder of that and a great way to give

something back to the community.” Added senior wide receiver Cody Thompson, “Just being with these kids and making their day a little bit better is awesome. It’s al-ways good to give back and put a smile on someone’s face.”

Jason Candle has played a major part of the suc-cess of the University of Toledo football program since 2009, first as an assistant coach and then as head coach. Candle assumed the Rockets’ head coaching role in December of 2015 following seven successful seasons as an assistant. He has since embarked on a quest to take an already outstanding program to even greater heights. In his first full season as Toledo’s leader in 2016, Candle led the Rockets to a 9-4 season and a berth in the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl. He and his staff followed that up with a 2017 recruiting class that was ranked No. 1 in the Mid-American Conference by ev-ery major recruiting service. Prior to assuming the Rockets’ helm, Candle had been serving as the program’s associate head coach/offensive coordinator. But his status suddenly changed when on Dec. 2, 2015, UT Athletic Director Mike O’Brien chose him to become the 27th head football coach in the storied history of Toledo foot-ball. Following his introductory news conference, Candle had less than three weeks to put together a coaching staff and prepare his team for the Marmot

Boca Raton Bowl. Twenty days later, Candle and his team celebrated a 32-17 victory over No. 24 Temple in the rain of south Florida. The triumph capped a 10-2 season for the Rockets and gave Candle a head coaching debut to remember.

First Months on the Job Candle’s first two months on the job were a whirl-wind of activity. First, he had to prepare his team for a battle with a very strong Temple team in the Marmot Boca Raton Bowl. Despite being short-staffed, the Rockets were ready for the No. 24 Owls, holding them to just three points and 67 yards of offense in the first half. Toledo dominated the fourth quarter, too, out-scoring Temple, 20-8, in the final 15 minutes to come away with a 32-17 victory. Next on Candle’s agenda was completing his coaching staff and signing the next generation of Rockets. Candle added eight assistants to the staff, as well as a strength and conditioning coach, a director of high school relations and a director of football op-erations. The newcomers helped Candle put the fin-ishing touches on a recruiting class that was ranked second in the MAC by ESPN.com.

Firing Up the Rockets in 2016 Candle’s first full season as head coach of the Rockets was filled with memorable highlights. Toledo won nine games and earned a berth into the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, its sixth bowl berth in the previ-ous seven years. The 2016 Rockets featured one of the top offenses in the country, ranking in the top 10 in five offensive categories, including passing efficiency (second), third-down conversions (fifth), total offense (seventh) and passing offense (10th). Toledo set the school re-cord with an average of 517.8 yards per game. The Rockets’ 2016 roster housed a record nine players who were on the official watch lists for na-tional awards. Twelve Rockets made All-MAC, includ-ing a league-high seven first-team selections. Junior quarterback Logan Woodside led the nation with 45 touchdown passes and was named a contender for the Heisman Trophy by the Heisman Trophy Trust. Se-nior tight end Michael Roberts led the nation’s tight ends with 16 TD catches and was named first-team All-America by the Football Writers Association of America. Senior running back Kareem Hunt finished his career as UT’s all-time leading rusher with 4,945 yards. Roberts and Hunt were chosen to play in the 2017 Senior Bowl, while offensive lineman Storm Nor-ton and defensive tackle Treyvon Hester joined Rob-erts as selections for the East-West Shrine Game. Last May, a record eight Rock-et seniors were either selected in the 2017 NFL Draft, signed as free agents or invited to mini-camps. Three Rockets—Kareem Hunt, Mi-chael Roberts and Treyvon Hes-ter—were drafted, the most since the NFL went to its current seven-round format in 1994. Hunt, a run-ning back, was a third-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs. Roberts (tight end) was taken in the fourth round by Detroit while Hester (de-fensive tackle) was chosen by the Oakland Raiders in the seventh round.

Guiding the Rocket Offense as an Assistant Under Candle’s guidance as offensive coordina-tor, the Toledo offense was prolific. His final season as the OC in 2015 was no exception. The Rockets were 10-2 that year, and ranked third in the Mid-American Conference in scoring offense (35.0) and total offense (460.9 yardsper game). Four Rockets earned All-MAC honors on offense, including first-team honoree Storm Norton (OL). Junior running back Kareem Hunt came back from injuries to lead the MAC in rushing with 108.1

yards per game. Toledo led the MAC in rushing, averaging nearly 208 yards per contest, and ranked No. 2 in the nation in fewest sacks allowed (five). In 2014, UT led the MAC in just about every major offensive category, in-cluding scoring offense (36.6), total offense (490.5) and rushing offense (256.4). The 2014 season culminated with a nine-touchdown outburst in a 63-44 victory over Arkansas State in the GoDaddy Bowl for the 9-4 Rock-ets. Six Rockets earned All-MAC recog-nition on offense in 2014, with senior center Greg Mancz snagging second-team All-America honors and the Vern Smith Leadership Award, given

Candle has coached 15 players who have played in the NFL. Three Rockets were selected in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Candle’s record at Toledo in eight years in the program is 66-35. In 14 years of coaching at the college lev-el, Candle has been part of 13 teams with winning records.

annually to the top player in the MAC. Sophomore running back Kareem Hunt ranked 10th in the nation in rushing (1,631 yards) and second in yards per carry (7.96). Candle also skillfully guided the Rocket quar-terbacks through a challenging season in which the top three signal-callers were all injured at the same time. In 2013, the Rockets averaged 33.0 points and 447.3 yards of total offense per game. Toledo’s run-ning game was especially effective, ranking second in the Mid-American Conference with 240.6 yards per contest. In addition, seven players on the offen-sive side of the ball earned All-MAC honors, including two-time first-team running back David Fluellen. In his debut as offensive coordinator in 2012, Candle helped guide the third-ranked offense in the MAC, as UT averaged 445.2 yards per game. The Rock-ets had five offensive players make the All-MAC team, propelling them to a 9-4 mark and a trip to the Fa-mous Idaho Potato Bowl.

Making his Mark as Receivers Coach As the receivers coach from 2009-11, Candle mentored one of the most decorated receivers in Rocket history, Eric Page. Page caught 306 passes in

his career, the most ever by a Division I-BCS receiver in three seasons. A three-time All-MAC player, Page broke virtually every UT receiving record and tied the MAC record for career receptions. In 2011, the Rockets went 9-4 and won their first bowl game in six years, a 42-41 victory over Air Force in the Military Bowl. Sophomore wide receiver Ber-nard Reedy caught three touchdown passes and was named the game’s MVP. Page caught a school-record 125 passes for the season and earned first-team All-MAC honors. In 2010, the Rockets went 8-5 and made their first bowl appearance in five seasons. Page caught 99 passes and was a first-team All-MAC honoree at wide receiver, earning All-America honors as a kickoff re-turner, as well. In 2009, Candle coached the slot re-ceivers and tight ends. He helped guide Page to an outstanding freshman season. Page led the nation in receptions (82) and yardage (1,159) by a freshman and was named first-team Freshman All-America by Phil Steele Magazine and the College Football News.

Candle. The Rockets have led the Mid-American Conference in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) in each of the past four years, with an alltime high mark of 981 out of 1000 this past season. APR measures the progress toward earning a degree for student-athletes. Toledo’s high APR numbers translate into di-plomas. Of the eight players who were in an NFL training camp in 2017, all eight earned their degrees. Thirteen players on the 2017 roster already have earned their bachelor’s degrees, the third-highest number in the NCAA-FBS.

Recruiting Toledo’s 2017 stellar recruiting class was selected as the No. 1 class in the Mid- American Conference by every major recruiting service. That’s nothing new for Candle, who has a long history of recruiting excel-lence. Candle’s first recruiting class in 2016 was rated No. 2 in the MAC by ESPN.com despite the fact that he as-sumed the head coaching job just two months before Signing Day. Even more impressive is the fact that all but two of Candle’s assistant coaches were new to the program during the critical final two months of the recruiting season. As an assistant coach, Candle was regularly men-tioned among the nation’s top recruiters. In 2010, he was named one of the top recruiters in the nation by Rivals.com. He was one of only nine coaches in the country from non-automatic BCS qualifying confer-ences to be named to the list and the only coach from the MAC. Candle also was named the Mid-American Conference “Recruiter of the Year” by Scout.com in both 2011 and 2012. Toledo’s 2011 recruiting class was ranked No. 1 in the MAC by both Scout and Rivals. In 2014, Candle was named one of only two MAC as-sistants to be named among the top recruiters in the “Group of Five” conferences by Rivals.

Coaching Origins at Mount Union Candle joined the Rockets’ staff in 2009 after spending both his playing and coaching career under head coach Larry Kehres at Mount Union. In Candle’s six years as an assistant at Mount Union, the Purple Raiders went 83-4 and won NCAA Division III national cham-pionships in 2005, 2006 and 2008. The 2003 and 2007 teams lost in the national championship game. A 2003 Mount Union graduate, Candle was an All-Ohio Athletic Conference first-team selection in 2001 as he led the team in recep-tions (41), yards receiving (778) and touchdowns (9). He was a key member of the 2000 and 2001 na-tional championship teams and

finished his career with 57 grabs for 1,037 yards and 11 scores. Candle, a native of Salem, Ohio, began his coach-ing career at Mount Union in 2003 as the receivers coach. In the 2004 and 2005 seasons, he worked with Campbell, who was the Purple Raiders’ offensive co-ordinator at the time. Candle took over the post of offensive coordinator in 2007, and also assumed the duties as the program’s recruiting coordinator. In Candle’s two seasons as offensive coordinator, the Purple Raiders went 29-1, winning the national championship in 2008 and finishing as runners-up in 2007. Mount Union offensive players earned nine All-American honors in Candle’s two seasons running the offense. QB Greg Micheli was honored in 2008 with the Gagliardi Trophy, given annually to the best NCAA Division III player in the nation. Candle also helped guide two Purple Raider receivers to All-American status during his time as the receivers coach from 2003-08. One of those All-American receivers, Pierre Garcon, is a starting wide receiver for the Washington Redskins. The other was Cecil Shorts, a fourth-round draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2011. Candle and his wife Nicole have a daughter, Avery, who was born in May of 2017.

Six of Candle’s 13 seasons as an assistant football coach were as a coordinator. He was just 27 years old when he was named offensive coordinator at Mount Union.

Toledo, Ohio - Senior quarterback Logan Woodside threw for 314 yards and junior placekicker Jameson Vest kicked a career-best four field goals to lead Toledo to a 47-13 victory over Elon in the season opener for both teams at the Glass Bowl. While Toledo’s offense racked up 553 yards of total offense, it was the Rockets’ defense that dominated much of the action, limiting the Phoenix to just 175 yards of total offense. Elon gained just 65 yards in the first half and failed to complete a pass in five attempts.

Five plays later, Terry Swanson ran it in from three yards out to extend the UT lead to 17-3 with 10:59 to play in the half.

Toledo made it 34-17 on an eight-yard pass from Woodside to Cody Thompson with 3:45 left in the third quarter.

The Rockets missed a chance to grow the lead when Vest’s 31-yard field goal went wide left. But Toledo avoided damage on Nevada’s ensuing pos-session when Tuzar Skipper forced a fumble on a pass attempt by Gangi that was recovered by Nate Childress. Toledo wasn’t able to convert on the turnover, but the Rocket defense forced another turnover on Nevada’s next possession. Junior defensive end Olasunkanmi Adeniyi hit Gangi’s arm on a pass attempt that was picked off by senior linebacker Ja’Wuan Woodley on the UN 36-yard line. Toledo settled for a field goal that made the score, 37-24 with 4:31 to play. On the ensuing drive, the Wolf Pack marched all the way down to the Toledo 18-yard line, trying to make it a one-score game.

Toledo, Ohio – On a night in which the University of Toledo honored some of the greatest players in its 100-year history, the Rockets and senior quarterback Logan Woodside came through with a performance worthy of the ages. Woodside threw for 458 yards and a school-record tying six touchdowns as the Rockets rallied from a 21-point deficit to defeat Tulsa, 54-51, before 24,239 joyous fans at the Glass Bowl Saturday night. The third-biggest comeback in the 100-year history of the program was not completed until junior placekicker Jameson Vest booted a 33-yard field goal with no time on the clock. The Rockets (3-0) trailed 28-7 in the first half, fought their way back into the game in the third quarter, then outlasted the Golden Hurricane (1-2) down the stretch. After Tulsa knotted the score at 51-51 with 2:47 to play, Woodside drove the Rockets 59 yards in eight plays, setting up Vest’s hero-ics. Tulsa called a pair of timeouts to ice UT’s kicker, but Vest calmly split the uprights, igniting a wild celebration on the field and in the stands. Senior wide receiver Cody Thompson set career highs in both receptions (9) and receiving yards (178). He also caught three of Woodside’s six TD throws, including a miraculous one-armed grab in the third quarter that gave Toledo its first lead of the game, 34-31. Toledo’s total of 679 yards of total offense ranks fourth all-time. The two teams combined for 105 points and 1227 yards. Tulsa opened the scoring with an 18-play drive that soaked up 5:26 on the clock. Chad President finished of the drive with an eight-yard TD run. Toledo struck back on the very next play, tying the score on a 60-yard completion from Woodside to Danzel McKinley-Lewis. Tulsa answered, this time scoring quickly on 63-yard bolt from Sharmari Brooks to make the score, 14-7. Tulsa’s defense put the next score on the board when linebacker Craig Suits stepped in front of a Woodside pass and took it 37 yards the other way to make it 21-7. The Golden Hurricane extended the lead to three touchdowns when Brooks scored again, this time from eight yards out to cap a five-play, 58-yard drive. The Rockets gained some momentum going into the locker room when Woodside connected with Cody Thompson on a 26-yard TD strike with just 28 seconds left. Toledo took the ball to start the second half and quickly cut the lead to 28-21 on a 49-yard TD sprint by Swanson. Tulsa followed with a nice drive that stalled on the eight-yard line, forcing the Hurricane to settle for field goal. Ten seconds later, Woodside and Thompson hooked up again, this time on an 81-yard bomb to cut the lead to 31-28 with 8:55 to play in the third quarter. The Rockets took their first lead of the game on an acrobatic one-armed touchdown catch by Thompson, his third scoring grab of the night. Wood-side led Thompson into the corner of the end zone from 15 yards out, and Thompson leaped and pulled it in with one arm. The extra point attempt with mishandled, giving UT a 34-31 lead. Tulsa came back with a seven-play, 75-yard drive that was capped off by a one-yard plunge by D’Angelo Brewer. After Nate Childress blocked the extra point, Josh Teachey grabbed the deflected ball in the end zone and weaved his way more than 100 yards the other way for two points, making the score 37-36 in favor of Tulsa. The fourth quarter opened with a UT punt, followed by another touch-down for the Golden Hurricane. President broke through the right side for a 39-yard score, extending the Tulsa lead to 44-36 with 12:07 left to play. Woodside hit Diontae Johnson with a 49-yard strike down the sideline, then followed with a connection to Jordan Fisher for the two-point conver-sion to tie the score 44-44. Following a rare three-and-out by Tulsa, Wood-side hit Johnson again, this time on a 74-yard bomb to give Toledo a 51-44 lead with eight minutes left. The Golden Hurricane tied it up on a 14-play drive that culminated with a one-yard TD by Brooks, setting up Toledo’s final game-winning drive. ROCKET ROUNDUP:For the third straight season Toledo started 3-0... Toledo’s 21-point come-back is tied for the third-largest in school history, tying the Nov. 12, 1994 win over Western Michigan... Woodside moved into third place on Toledo’s all-time passing yardage list, passing Gene Swick (1972-75, 7,266 yards)...His 458 passing yards are third-most in a single game in Toledo history...

Miami Gardens, Fla. – Senior quarterback Logan Woodside threw for 342 yards but it wasn’t enough for the Toledo Rockets in their upset bid over No. 14 Miami at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on Saturday. Toledo (3-1) led at the half, 16-10, but the Hurricanes (2-0) controlled the final 30 minutes on their way to a 52-30 victory. Woodside completed at least five passes to four different receivers, led by sophomore Diontae Johnson, who had a career-high eight receptions and 66 yards, and senior Cody Thompson, who pulled in five catches for 114 yards. Johnson also tied his career-high with a pair of touchdown re-ceptions. Senior Terry Swanson led the rushing attack with 79 yards. Toledo outgained Miami in total yards at the half, 296-190, but the Hurricanes out-distanced UT in the second half, 397-133. Junior quarterback Malik Rozier threw for 333 yards and three TDs while running for another to lead Miami. Junior Mark Walton added 204 yards rushing and one touchdown. Miami jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, scoring on its first possession on a 44-yard TD run by Walton. After a three-and-out by Toledo, Walton struck again, bolting 82 yards to the UT three-yard line. However, the Rocket defense stopped three running attempts by the Hurricanes, forcing them to settle for a 19-yard field goal. Toledo dominated the rest of the half, outscoring Miami 16-0 in the second quarter. The Rockets got on the board early in the second quarter on a 24-yard field by junior Jameson Vest. The score was set up by a 38-yard completion from Woodside to Thompson that went to the UM two-yard line. Vest cut the lead to 10-6 by connecting a 49-yard field goal, tying his career long, with 7:48 to play in the half. The Rockets took the lead, 13-10, on their first touchdown of the game, a 37-yard completion from Woodside to Jon’Vea Johnson with 3:30 left in the half. Toledo stopped Miami on its next possession, then drove down to the Miami 20-yard line with three seconds left. Vest’s field goal attempt was wide left but Miami was flagged for off-sides, giving the Georgia na-tive another change. This time he converted from 32 yards out, boosting UT to 16-10 halftime edge. Miami regained the lead, 17-16, on an eight play, 91-yard drive on its second possession of the second half. Travis Homer finished the drive with a 12-yard run into the end zone. Following a UT punt, Miami scored again, this time on a 10-yard TD pass from Malik Rozier to Dayall Harris. The score was set up by a 55-yard reception by Braxton Berrios that went down to the UT 14-yard line. Miami got the ball right back on a Woodside fumble late in the third quarter that was recovered by the Hurricanes on the UT 21-yard line. Two plays later, Rozier hit Berrios for a 19-yard score to extend the UM lead to 31-16 with 14:53 left in the fourth quarter. Moments later, Rozier hit Chris-topher Herndon on a two-yard scoring pass to up the margin to 38-16. The Rockets did not give up, however, as Woodside then drove the of-fense 77 yards in six plays, connecting with Diontae Johnson on a six-yard scoring strike with 9:21 left. A two-point conversion pass from Woodside to Art Thompkins came up just short, making the score 38-22 in favor of Miami. Moments later, sophomore safety Jordan Williams picked off a Ro-zier pass and returned it to the eight-yard line. On the next play, Woodside hit Diontae Johnson for touchdown along the right side of the end zone.

Toledo, Ohio – Senior quarterback Logan Woodside threw for 289 yards and sophomore safety Kahlil Robinson intercepted two passes to lead Toledo to a hard-fought 20-15 victory over Eastern Michigan in UT’s Homecoming game at the Glass Bowl on Saturday. Robinson, starting in his first game as a collegian, picked off his second pass at the UT 31-yard line with 55 seconds left in the game to snuff out a last-minute Eagle rally and clinch the Rocket victory. Woodside completed 23-of-34 passes on the day. His top target was sophomore Diontae Johnson, who caught eight passes for 97 yards. Soph-omore Art Thompkins, starting in place of the injured Terry Swanson, led the rushing attack with 94 yards on 15 carries. The Rockets out-gained Eastern Michigan, 419-326, holding the Eagles to just 73 yards rushing on 23 attempts. Toledo’s leading receiver, senior Cody Thompson, was injured early in the game and never returned. Head coach Jason Candle said after the game that Thompson suffered a leg injury and likely is lost for the season. Toledo (4-1, 1-0 MAC) got on the board first on its first possession on a 27-yard field goal by Jameson Vest. But it was a costly drive, as Thompson was injured following a 32-yard pass completion. Both teams missed field goals on the next two drives, EMU from 50 yards and the Rockets from 21 yards out on a fumbled snap. Eastern Michigan (2-3, 0-2 MAC) took the lead on the next to final play of the first quarter on an 11-yard pass from Brogan Roback to Johnnie Ni-upalau. The score capped a seven-play, 80-yard drive. The extra point was no good, giving the Eagles a 6-3 edge. Toledo had a chance to tie the score midway through the second quar-ter, but Vest’s 35-yard attempt sailed wide left. The Rockets broke through on their next possession, however. Woodside drove the offense 52 yards in eight plays, capped by a one-yard touchdown run by redshirt freshman Shakif Seymour on fourth down that gave UT a 10-6 edge going into the locker room. Toledo extended the lead to 17-6 midway through the third quarter on an 18-yard touchdown run by sophomore Art Thompkins. The score came after UT failed to punch the ball into the end zone on fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line. A short punt and a penalty by EMU that gave UT the ball on Eastern’s 18-yard line, and Thompkins scored on the next play. The Eagles trimmed the lead to 17-9 on a 46-yard field goal by Paulie Fricano with 6:08 left in the third quarter. Later in the fourth quarter, EMU struck again when Roback hit Antoine Porter for a 12-yard TD. It appeared that the Eagles tied the contest with a two-point conversion but a video review revealed that Porter’s foot was out of bounds on his catch in the back of the end zone. Vest’s second field goal of the day, a 20-yarder, moved Toledo’s lead to 20-15 with 2:58 to play. In EMU’s final drive, Roback completed a pass on fourth-and-nine for a first down to the UT 37-yard line with a little more than one minute left in the game. A holding call moved the ball back to the 47-yard line, then Robinson finished off the victory with his interception.

ROCKET ROUNDUP:Toledo has now won 11 straight games against Eastern Michigan and 17 of the last 18 meetings. UT is now 61-27 in Homecoming games and 5-1 when it plays EMU on this day… Woodside finished with 289 passing yards, becoming the third player in school history to eclipse 8,000 career pass-ing yards…Woodside moved into second place all-time in Toledo history in career passing yards, passing Terrance Owens (8,203 yards, 2010-13).

Mount Pleasant, Mich. – Senior running back Terry Swanson rushed for a season-high 145 yards and two touchdowns as Toledo dominated Central Michigan, 30-10, on a rainy afternoon in Mount Pleasant. A driving rain limited the passing games for both teams, forcing both teams to lean on the running game. Toledo was able to sustain a consistent attack on the ground despite missing three starters on the offensive line, while the Rocket defense bottled up the CMU runners and forced Chip-pewa quarterback Shane Morris into a sub-par performance. Central was held to just 244 yards of total offense, including just 49 yards and two first downs in the first half. Morris was 17-of-37 for 182 yards and two intercep-tions. CMU gained just 62 yards in 21 attempts on the ground, an average of 2.9 yards per carry. Toledo (5-1, 2-0 MAC) gained 399 yards of total offense. Senior quar-terback Logan Woodside managed the game well, completing 10-of-18 passes for 89 yards, as UT leaned on the running game more than at any time this season. Redshirt freshman Shakif Seymour added a career-best 119 rushing yards, all in the fourth quarter. The game started with a light rain but by the middle of the first quarter the conditions worsened, with a hard rain and gusty winds making it chal-lenging for the offenses. Toledo got on the board first on a 48-yard touchdown run by Swanson on a fourth-and-one call midway through the first quarter. The teams then exchanged empty possessions until Jameson Vest connected o na 41-yard field goal to give Toledo a 10-0 lead with 8:49 to play in the half. Swanson came through again on fourth down late in the first half, scoring from 22 yards out on fourth-and-two to make it 17-0 with 1:19 left before intermission. Central Michigan (3-4, 1-2 MAC) got on the board with a 23-yard field goal by Michael Armstrong with 27 seconds left in the third quarter. But the Rockets put the game safely in the win column by responding with an eight-play, 87-yard drive that was finished off by a five-yard run by Wood-side. The extra-point attempt hit the upright, making the score 23-3. Sey-mour had a 39-yard run in the drive, Moments later, redshirt freshman Justin Clark picked off a pass, setting up an eight-yard TD run by Seymour. CMU scored on a 26-yard pass from Morris to Shane Conklin with a minute to play to close out the scoring.
