So is Toledo going to kick our ass on Saturday?

I watched most of the Boise game last week. Toledo looked very athletic, but undisciplined in that game, between costly penalties and turnovers. Also, BSU wore them down with their passing game. I hope we can do the same, but we really need to stay out in front in this game (sounds familiar for a home game).

Toledo had the same number of penalties(9) as Boise State and 2 more turnovers. The two Toledo turnovers were real screw-ups, because they occurred in the Redzone. Big thing in the Boise/Toledo game was the Broncos had 13 days to heal up and prepare for Toledo and the Rockets had 6 days after OSU.
That probably explains fatigue late in the game more so than passing attack wearing them down.
Rockets will run alot of different personel and looks. You may think UT is a screen team, but only if the defenses dictate that.

Exactly, people are forgetting what shape our secondary is at the moment.

Our secondary is in rough shape, but does Toledo have receivers like USC did? I have to doubt that. I admit I don't know much about them though.

You guys also had 14 penalties against OSU.

I am definitely worried about this game. Hopefully, this team is continually improving, with more practices.
