Larry Ness - My 10* MAC Game of the Year is Ohio U at 7:00 ET.
Toledo was unable to generate much offense at all at home last Friday night against a suspect Arizona defense which returned only four starters from a season ago. Arizona coach Mike Stoops was very worried in the press prior to the game given his defense's poor performances in practices and scrimmages. Unfortunately for the Rockets, Toledo made this unit look like the New York Jets, as the team's usually effective spread offense (which ranked 12th in the nation in 2009) managed only 183 total yards. Sophomore QB Austin Dantin looked shaky while completing 14-of-23 passes for only 101 yards and an interception. Toledo entered this season with big concerns about its running game after graduating DaJuane Collins (991 YR in '09). These fears appear justified as the Rockets gained only 80 yards on the ground with just a 2.9 YPC average. Now Toledo must go on the road to face Frank Solich's Ohio Bobcats, who return six starters from a defense that allowed only 21.3 PPG last year. Solich is developing a strong program at Ohio (two MAC East titles and two bowl games in five seasons) and he has high expectations for this season's club. Note that when Solich won the MAC East in '06, that defense allowed just 18.3 PPG. He expects this year's unit to be on par with those two. Ohio tied Texas for most takeaways last season and had three vs Wofford, one of which was returned for a TD. "It's time to take the next step" said Solich. "We have more depth than we've ever had. If all goes well, we should have a great chance of having a good year." Ohio won the MAC's East Division in 2009 and did a good job in containing the dynamic spread offense of Central Michigan (led by QB Dan LeFevour) in the MAC Championship game, despite losing 20-10. MLB Noah Keller emerged as one-man wrecking crew to end the season with his 16 tackles against CMU and then 17 tackles in Ohio's bowl game. He's back and the Bobcats defense will be well prepared to handle Toledo's struggling spread offense. However, the Rockets' bigger concern is their nearly non-existent defense which allowed 37.7 PPG and just under 410 YPG last season. Toledo returned only four starters from last year's group this season and the team's inexperience showed as Arizona walked up and down the field for over 500 total yards. Boo Jackson is healthy and back as the Bobcats starting QB plus Iowa St transfer Phil Bates is on hand to give Ohio solid depth at that position. Jackson was injured in Ohio's second game last year and missed the rest of the season (opening the door for QB Theo Scott who has since graduated). Jackson WAS and IS the better QB given his dual-threat capabilities and a very strong arm. LaVon Brazill and Terrence McCrae combined for 15 TD catches last season and may be the best WR duo in the MAC. Three starters return on the offensive line to help a rushing attack that needs to improve. The results from Ohio's 33-10 win over Wofford are encouraging, as Vince Davidson and Ryan Boykin led a ground game that accumulated 230 yards with a more than respectable 4.9 YPC average. Toledo hardly looked ready for "prime-time" vs Arizona and that should come as no surprise. While the Rockets were an impressive 55-19 (.743) the first six years of the previous decade (2000-05), they were just 18-30 (.375) the last four years (2006-09), including 5-18 on the road. Note that 15 of those 18 road losses have come by at least double digits, with the average margin of defeat coming by a whopping 19.6 PPG. These two Mid American Conference teams have not met since their 43-40 barnburner in 2007. Toledo won that contest (Ohio racked up 560 yards but seven TOs did them in) but they do not seem to be close to the same level as that team. Solich's crew should take care of the Rockets with ease and if you check Ohio's schedule, a 10-win season is not much of a stretch.
