The Rockets might not have impressed in September but they have been perfect in MAC play and that is despite losing promising transfer QB Philip Ely in the second week of the season.
At 5-0 they are in the driver’s seat in the MAC West and for the first time in a while the Huskies are chasing them and not the other way around.
[dfads params=’groups=63738&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
This week they are facing the proposition of not having reserve QN Logan Woodside either, which is no line on the game at present.
If Woodside is out it puts even more pressure on the Rockets running game, which is the best part of their team. Kareem Hunt is that typical small conference back but he yields to few in terms of production. He missed a few weeks due to injury but he has rushed for better than 100 yards in all of his starts this season.
Freshman backup Terry Swanson has also been a terror averaging almost 7 yards per carry. He is a little small to carry the load but if you blink he is gone.
The Huskies are not going to be barrelling into the playoffs this season but with a strong finish they can reach double-digit victories for a fourth season in a row.
[dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
In this one they will be looking to jump on top of the West with a victory, potentially setting up a huge tilt with Western Michigan in the final week of the season.
This year’s team is a little less balanced than they have been in the past. The running game is still punishing but Jordan Lynch has proved pretty hard to replace.
Quarterback Drew Hare has been doing his best but he has not been helped by the fact that receiver Tommy Lee Lewis has been out for the season since the third week.
Without balance and that confidence Lynch had to plow through every situation it has just been more difficult this season.
The Huskies are picking up steam since losing to Central Michigan at home and the only other team to beat them this season was Arkansas…so look out.
[dfads params=’groups=63739&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
If there was more certainty at QB for Toledo I think we would have one that goes down to the wire.
At home, midweek, potential blackout, you have to go with the Huskies. They can cover a TD easy.

The favorites doubled up the underdogs 8-4 against the spread in Week 11 of the NFL season with the other three games ending as a PUSH. The total line was evenly split 7-7 and one game ended as a PUSH.
NFL Power Rankings – Where Every Team Sits After Week 11
Week 11 is done – it featured some key matchup – four of last week’s top 6 faced off against one another in tremendous games. There are no undefeated teams left – KC unfortunately slipped from the ranks and subsequently down the Rankings and there is a new addition to the top 5 – one that nobody saw coming even just a few weeks ago.
The Week 12 AP top 25 college football rankings were released on Sunday. Oregon was the big mover, as their loss to Stanford caused them to fall to No. 6.
What a week!
The top dogs in the league survived just barely and some new Big Dogs emerged! Some previously standout teams showed that without a QB their chances for success are hugely diminished. No other league on the planet is as fluid and as interesting from week to week – that’s why we love this game!
When you play in the SEC it sometimes can be hard to tell just how good you really are. The Rebels have won all the games they were favoured in save one and the same has been true with them as the underdogs, losing all except one.
While Texas A&M is getting headlines this week about how smart their move was to the SEC nobody is talking about how bad Hawaii has been since moving to the Mountain West Conference.
Northern Illinois is back in the same position they seemingly are in every year. Northern Illinois sits at the top of the MAC standings with a record of 6-0 in the league.

The Huskies only have one loss on the year, and that was a tough 18-17 season opening loss against Iowa. Toledo is putting together a nice season as well. The Rockets did drop a 34-27 decision to Ball State last week, and they must win this game to have a chance to reach the MAC title game.
Toledo
The Toledo Rockets lost their head coach after last season, but the team really hasn’t skipped a beat this year.
Over the last couple years, Terrance Owens and Austin Dantin split the time pretty evenly at quarterback, but Owens has emerged as the clear starter this year for the Toledo offense. Owens has thrown 14 touchdowns compared to just five interceptions. He has also run for 330 yards. Bernard Reedy has emerged as a star receiver for Toledo. Reedy has 69 catches for 901 yards this year. Overall, Toledo averages 33.6 points per game.
The Rockets defense gave up a ton of points last year, and this year has been no different. Toledo actually lost 63-60 last year against Northern Illinois. There’s no way you can expect Toledo to shut down the Huskies all game long, but they’ll have to come up with some timely stops in this one if they are going to win. The Rockets have been better at forcing turnovers this year, which has helped them keep opponents point totals down a bit. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
Northern Illinois
There are different people at the skill positions, but Northern Illinois still has the same formula for success. The Huskies run the football extremely well and have a play maker at the quarterback position. They have added a better defense to the list in 2012, which makes this team even more dangerous. Jordan Lynch has been amazing at the signal caller spot for Northern Illinois. Lynch has run for 1,342 yards, and he has thrown for 2,175 yards. In all, Lynch has 35 touchdowns this season. Many expected Lynch to be a good runner, but his passing numbers are tremendous. He has thrown for 19 touchdowns compared to just three interceptions. Northern Illinois is averaging 40.9 points per game.
The Huskies defense has given up a decent amount of yards, but they have been great at forcing turnovers and holding opponents to field goal attempts. In three of their last four games, the Huskies have allowed 7 points or less. Opponents are only averaging 17.9 points per contest against the Huskies this year.
Both of these teams have a very impressive offense, but the Huskies have the much better defense. This game isn’t likely to be like last year’s 63-60 scoring fest, but I still think the over is the way to play this.
