The Toledo Rockets has been the team to beat in the Mid American Conference for years, and this season shouldn't be any different.  Head coach Tom Amstutz has done a great job with a team that boasts six Mid American Conference crowns in 12 years and 12 straight winning seasons.

Tom Amstutz's Toledo Rockets offense will need to find a new quarterback to replace quarterback Bruce Gradkowski.  Running back Scooter McDougle, who rushed for 620 yards in only four starts back in 2004, returns after an injury sidelined him last season. The Rockets are well-stocked with wide receivers and boast one of the best offensive lines in the MAC.


Seven return to defensive coordinator Tim Rose's defense which surrendered only 22 points per game in 2005. While the front wall has experience, the back seven loses some big players so the defense could drop a notch this year.

Both returnmen are back but a new field goal kicker must fill the gap on special teams.

The Toledo Rockets have a challenging schedule that includes non conference games in Iowa State and Pitt, three of five divisional games on the road, and games against Akron, Kent State, and Bowling Green in the East.  Head coach Tom Amstutz has the experience to guide inexperienced players, so the Rockets should again challenge for the Mid American Conference West championship.
