The Rocket football team hosts Wyoming tomorrow night at 7:00pm in Toledo's homecoming game. Wyoming head coach Dave Christiansen was an assistant coach and offensive coordinator at Toledo when Gary Pinkel was the Rocket head coach. Also, Wyoming offensive line coach Jim Harding played football for Toledo, on the offensive line.
Toledo (3-1, 2-0) is a 3.5 point favorite, the first time this season they have been favored to win a game. Between 80-100 high school football prospects are expected to attend the game. Senior defensive end Alex Johnson and junior kicker Ryan Casano will both miss the Wyoming game with injuries. Casano is likely out for the rest of the season, while Johnson may be able to come back later in the year if his rehabilitation goes well.
After the Wyoming game, Toledo will turn their attention to the Boise State Broncos, for a match up with them in Boise, Idaho the following Saturday. After that Toledo has six regular season games remaining on the schedule, all conference games. Four of those six games will be at home.
The Rocket men's basketball program begins practices in two weeks. Head Coach Tod Kowalczyk is in his first season at Toledo. A brand new "Coach K" website, similar to football head coach Tim Beckman's site, will be unveiled in mid-October.
The Rockets open the season at home against Siena Heights in an exhibition game on October 30th. They will then host UM-Dearborn in another exhibition game on November 3rd, before opening the regular season in Champaign, IL against the Illinois Fighting Illini on November 10th.
