Rocket Football Update

One of the biggest questions on the minds of Rocket fans as Toledo heads into a key conference match-up with Kent State this weekend is where does the team stand with injuries. DE Alex Johnson is still out, and not expected back for at least a few weeks. But what about the injuries that occurred at Boise State last weekend?

The Toledo Blade's Zach Silka has reported that UT head coach Tim Beckman told him that Austin Dantin has completely recovered from a minor concussion and will start this weekend against Kent State. He also said that redshirt freshman QB Terrance Owens will see playing time as well.

True freshman running back David Fluellen is expected to miss 3-4 weeks with a knee injury. The rest is all good news.

True freshman wide receiver James Green, redshirt freshman defensive end Christian Smith, and sophomore defensive end TJ Fatinikun are all expected to play Saturday against Kent State.

The Rockets are 3-3 on the season, but more importantly they are 2-0 in conference play. Toledo will be looking to start the MAC season 3-0 for the first time since 2005.

It will once again be a busy weekend for recruiting as well. The Rockets are expecting to welcome 45 recruits at the game for unofficial visits.
