  Tucker Gleason threw for three touchdowns and his short toss to Lenny Kuhl with just over two minutes left gave Toledo its first lead in a 27-24 come-from-behind win over Eastern Michigan Saturday. The MAC West division leaders, Toledo (6-3, 4-1) tied the game twice on Gleason touchdown passes, but Eastern Michigan held a 24-17 lead to start the fourth quarter on Samson Evans' third rushing touchdown of the game.

  OCT 10 MAC WEST DIVISION DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Quinyon Mitchell, Toledo, CB, Sophomore, Williston, Fla-Williston,...Mitchell snagged four interceptions, two for first-half touchdowns of 25 and 20 yards, tying the school record for interceptions and becoming the first Rocket ever to grab two pick-sixes in one game. The four interceptions were also the first four picks of his career. It was Toledo's first interception return for a touchdown since Chris McDonald's pick-six vs. Notre Dame last year.

  Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell became the first FBS player since 2006 to intercept four passes in a game, according to Sportradar. He ran back two of them for touchdowns in the Rockets' 52-32 win at Northern Illinois. Mitchell entered the game with no interceptions in 24 career games. All four occurred within NIU's first seven possessions. He had three in the first half, returning the first one 20 yards for a touchdown and the second one 25 for a score. His third interception was in the end zone as NIU threatened to score late in the half, and he picked off Ethan Hampton again on the Huskies' first series of the third quarter. The previous player with four interceptions was Middle Tennessee State's Damon Nickson, who did it in 2006 against Louisiana. - AP College Football

  08/22/22 - Tyler LongrSr/2025, Toledo + More +

  Toledo's offensive line is thinner. And it has nothing to do with weight. Unfortunately for the Rockets, two-thirds of their starting offensive line is out of commission, according to a source, as interior lineman Tyler Long is out for the season with a leg injury, and tackle Mitch Berg is out indefinitely with an injury. Long, a Springfield graduate, has started 17 of the past 19 games at right guard. The preseason second-team All-MAC selection was part of a line that ranked first in the conference last season in scoring (33.4 points per game) and fourth in total offense (435.8 yards).

Long started five of six games during the coronavirus year, with Toledo ranking first in pass offense (325.8 passing yards) and second in total offense (494.0 yards). Berg, a St. John's Jesuit product, appeared in all 13 games at left tackle during his redshirt freshman season in 2018, and started 10 of 11 games at left tackle in 2019. He missed the 2020 season with an injury, and started all 12 games one year ago. - Toledo Blade

  With an All-American lineage and three seasons of Big Ten football to his name, Judge Culpepper might have felt too cool for school when he transferred to Toledo last year. But that's not him. For one, the senior defensive tackle is a good guy who likes school. (The philosophy major got straight A's in high school.) For another, he would have had no room to talk. When he arrived from Penn State, he knew well that - never mind the difference in recruiting stars - his new teammates on the Toledo defensive line could hold their own against anybody. "There was really very little drop-off, if any at all, between the team I used to play for and the team I'm on now," said Culpepper, whose father, Brad, was an All-American defensive tackle at Florida and played nine years in the NFL. And that was last season. Now? While Culpepper would never say it, I will: There probably is a difference between his new team and his old one this year. Toledo's defensive line - featuring a pair of two-time all-conference selections with serious NFL potential (end Jamal Hines and tackle Desjuan Johnson) and all four starters back - could be better. - Toledo Blade

  What do players and coaches think of preseason predictions? Not a whole lot. Of course, the games aren't played on paper. If they were, Toledo would have won about five Mid-American Conference titles in the past decade. Alas, the Rockets have a single championship. But this season could be different - according to what's on paper. The MAC's media contingent handed Toledo six of 24 first-place votes, second only to defending champion Northern Illinois' nine. Phil Steele, college football's most accurate prognosticator, picked UT to finish 10-2.

ESPN's David Hale said the Rockets are the best over/under bet in the sport, advising prospective bettors to take the over on eight wins. The ESPN power index favors Toledo to win all eight of its MAC games. "I see it every year," senior linebacker Dyontae Johnson said. "It doesn't really mean anything. I think it's just something to put on paper for fans to see. At the end of the day, when the ball snaps on September 1, we'll see who's there." Head coach Jason Candle is not one to play up expectations, taking the opposite approach and lessening the pressure on his team. He would rather have Toledo picked to finish in the middle of the pack than see headlines about 10 wins. But Candle appreciates that high expectations are reserved for programs with rabid fan bases and a history of winning. The last thing he wants to hear is that Toledo is favored to run the table in the MAC. - Toledo Blade
