The big problem for Toledo this season has been its atrocious defensive unit, which ranks near the bottom in every major defensive category. The Rockets are surrendering a whopping 502.3 total ypg, which has led to an abysmal 49.7 ppg. The team has been abused for 231.3 ypg on the ground and an even worse 271 ypg through the air. The defense was once again dismantled, this time by Kansas, as the Jayhawks racked up 558 total yards. Toledo was abused for 232 rushing yards in the loss and another 325 yards via the pass. The Rockets did have some success, as the unit forced three turnovers and recorded four sacks. Walter Atkins was sensational in the setback, as the cornerback collected 8.5 tackles.
This will definitely be one of the worst offenses Toledo will face this season. The Cyclones have been unable to put any type of consistency together, but that could all change this weekend, especially since the Rockets have been so bad defensively.
