The Toledo Rockets football team has kicked off the 2024 season in impressive fashion, starting 3-0 and grabbing the attention of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) and beyond. Their latest triumph, a 34-28 victory over SEC opponent Mississippi State, has cemented their reputation as a team to watch.

Toledo’s success can be largely attributed to quarterback Tucker Gleason, who has been nothing short of outstanding. Through the first three games, Gleason has racked up 662 total yards, showcasing his ability both in the air and on the ground. Yet, the Rockets’ early-season success has been a complete team effort, with contributions from all phases of the game.

Head Coach Jason Candle deserves a lot of credit for the Rockets’ preparation and mindset. No matter the opposition, Candle has had his team ready to compete. Whether it’s against MAC rivals or SEC powerhouses, Toledo has played with confidence and poise, demonstrating that they are a team built for sustained success.

Next week, the Rockets will face Western Kentucky, a team known for its high-powered offense. It will be another challenge, but one that Toledo is well-equipped to handle if they continue to play at their current level. A win would further solidify their standing in the MAC and possibly inch them closer to national recognition.

With the season off to such a promising start, the Rockets are aiming high. A bowl appearance seems well within reach, and if they keep winning, a spot in the Top 25 could also be in the cards. As the Rockets continue to work together as a cohesive unit, fans have every reason to believe that this could be a special season in Toledo.

The path ahead is full of possibilities, and with Coach Candle at the helm, the Rockets are ready for whatever challenges come their way. For now, Toledo is soaring, and the sky is the limit.
