Through 3 Quarters
The Toledo Rockets were the heavy favorites here for a reason. After three quarters it's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Bowling Green Falcons as Toledo lead 28-3.

Bowling Green @ Toledo
What to Know
The Bowling Green Falcons and the Toledo Rockets are opening their 2020 seasons against one another at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday at Glass Bowl. Returning after a rocky 3-9 year, Bowling Green is aiming to prove that the past does not define them. Likewise, last year was nothing to brag about for Toledo (6-6), so the squad is looking forward to a new start.
A couple last-season defensive stats to keep an eye on: The Falcons ranked third worst in the nation with respect to rushing touchdowns allowed last season, where the team gave up 36. The Rockets experienced some struggles of their own as they were fourth worst when it came to yards allowed per game last season, with the squad giving up 481 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
The Bowling Green sideline is surely aware that they're the underdogs in this one. We'll soon see whether they can make the experts look bad.
