Certainly the Rockets, one of the MAC favorites, got Boise State’s attention this past Saturday. Toledo could have, and maybe should have, won at Ohio State. The Rockets fell just 27-22 despite throwing one interception, having 102 yards in penalties, missing a 45-yard field goal, mishandling the hold on a 50-yard field-goal attempt and giving up a special-teams touchdown. They still scored the most points by an Ohio school against Ohio State since 1909. The Rockets drove from their own 28 and were 17 yards away from ending Ohio State's 43-0-1 run against in-state foes before a fourth-down incompletion ended things.

Toledo has one of the nation’s top players in junior wide receiver Eric Page. He caught 12 passes for 145 yards and two TDs against OSU, had a kickoff return of 42 yards and threw for a two-point conversion. Boise State will be highest-ranked UT opponent ever to visit the Glass Bowl.

The Broncos opened their season with a 35-21 victory over Georgia and the game really wasn’t that close. Senior QB Kellen Moore, a Heisman Trophy candidate, dominated the game, completing 28-of-34 passes for 261 yards and three touchdowns. Boise was off this past week. The Broncos beat Toledo 57-14 in Idaho last season, forcing five Rockets turnovers.
