What’s Going To Happen
The MAC West is already muddled, and it was made more so with Western Michigan’s thrilling win over Ohio on Tuesday night.
Northern Illinois is out of the MAC title chase with a loss, and it’s ensured of a losing season if it drops this. Win, and it has to get by Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan to hope for a swag bag trip.
Toledo has had a rocky year, but it beat Western Michigan and still has Central Michigan to deal with. It’s the Rockets’ last home game of the season, and it’s going to be a balmy 25 degrees at game time.
Toledo’s running game has to own this game from the start.
The league’s best ground attack already has a 1,052-yard, ten-touchdown year out of Bryant Koback, helping to lead the way for an O that’s rushed for over 500 yards in the last two weeks. He’s banged up, but there are plenty of other options – Toledo is 6-0 when running for 190 yards or more, and 0-3 when rushing for fewer.
The Northern Illinois run defense isn’t all that bad, but the team is 0-4 when it gives up 190 yards or more.
It’s about to give up 190 yards or more.
The Huskie defensive front doesn’t get behind the line and doesn’t generate enough of a pass rush to be disruptive. NIU can move the ball, but it’s not consistent enough to come through late to pull this off on the road.
