MAC West Conference - Toledo Rockets Preview
The Toledo Rockets have been the team to beat in the MAC for years, and this season shouldn't be any different. Head Coach Tom Amstutz has done a great job with a team that boasts six MAC crowns in 12 years and 12 straight winning seasons But Amstutz's Offense will need to find a new QB to replace quarterback Bruce Gradkowski. RB Scooter McDougle, who rushed for 620 yards in only four starts back in 2004, returns after an injury sidelined him last season.

The Rockets are well-stocked with WRs and boast one of the best O-Lines in the MAC. Seven return to DC Tim Rose's Defense which surrendered only 22 PPG in '05. While the front wall has experience, the back seven loses some big players so the D could drop a notch this year. Both returnmen are back but a new FG kicker must fill the gap on Special teams.
The Rockets have a challenging schedule that includes non-conference games in Iowa State and Pitt, three of five divisional games on the road, and games against Akron, Kent State, and Bowling Green in the East. HC Amstutz has the experience to guide inexperienced players, so the Rockets should again challenge for the MAC West championship.
