Fresno leads series, 2-0
 
The Toledo Rockets look to make it three straight wins to begin the 2016 season when they host Fresno State at the Glass Bowl.

So far, the combination of a stifling defense and an explosive offense have proved to be a winning formula for first-year head coach Jason Candle’s squad. Toledo has out-scored its first two opponents, Arkansas State and Maine, by a combined score of 76-13, most recently a 45-3 thumping of Maine last Saturday.
​
Fresno State has split its first two outings, struggling late in a loss at Nebraska and bouncing back for a dominating win over Sacramento State last week.
