Toledo now moves to 4-1 overall on the season as they get ready to hit the road to play UMass for a non-conference matchup on Saturday, Oct. 7 for a noon kickoff.
"Got to handle a trip this week and go play a team that's playing much better football this year than the team the team that came in here to the Glass Bowl last year," said Toledo head coach Jason Candle. "We have plenty of challenges to avoid a letdown so we have to have a great week of practice and we have to do a really good job, starting with tomorrow morning, to get a good jump on the practice week."
