Should be a great and wonderful game as usual.
My hope is that there are no injuries and that the winner goes on to win the MACC.
As usual Toledo is having an incredible season, with only one hard fought loss against a top 10 team.
This game should be on ESPN, not ESPNU.

RE: 3 keys to the game: UT vs. NIU
Agree with points one and three more so than the second point.
While it is a more than fair question, the Rockets OL has handled CMU's Ostman (he had the one and only sack for the Chips against the Rockets) and Bushwin of Ball State (the Cardinals had zero sacks). It is true that the Rockets mostly ran up and down the field against the Chips and rarely passed because of the rain.
That is why being able to run against the Huskies will be critical. Once again, the forecast is calling for rain. That said, I am confident in the Rockets ability to go to the air if needed.
Containing a running QB has been an ongoing issue for the Rockets. NIU QBs of recent history make this point, underlined! From my view, the Rockets are doing a better job of containment this year. Chiilders may be the best running QB Toledo has faced this season. On the flip side, the Rockets may be the best defense Childers has faced.
