10 Things I Like About Rocket Football
10) Because we're not BG.
9) A D-line that goes about 9 deep. We are tough to run on and physical. Not dominant but strong and deep. Overall the D has struggles, but when we have a little momentum this line can get us some stops on their own.
8) Alonzo Russell. 80% of the time
7) This Clustf*ck of a secondary. What more could go wrong? All we can do is hope for is a breakthrough, A breakout player, the other teams receivers to break. our leader is laid up with meningitis, our top backup blows a knee. others have injuries. Lucky 7s. We need a miracle.
6) Linebackers that will run and hit you like bricks.
5) Seniors on a really good oline. Yes, there's some snap count and tackle issues to perfect, but this line is the rock of the program. we've run the ball well against top 25 defenses. we've destroyed most mac defenses. The Toledo Oline tradition continues.
4) The Glass Bowl with some tailgate on a nice Saturday Night is still a great way to see a game.
3) Kareem Hunt and the 3 Amigos
2) Even though it started horribly, the cincy comeback was freaking epic. if woodside catches that ball we probably have the biggest comeback win of the decade. there's reasons we lost, but this team has some ability and spirit.
1) Making my First Rocket Game of the Year Against Central Michigan.

This really puzzles me. I just don't understand why the defense is one of the things you like about Rocket Football. That is the WORST thing about this team other than the inept coaching.

So that's what you LIKE about Rocket football? :) I could see you saying that, followed up with a "... and that secondary is about to shine!" or something -- not hoping for a miracle. :)
I think Toledo is a very dangerous team... to their opponents, but also possibly to themselves in close games. They definitely need to shore the latter up if they want to be the MAC West favorite again.
