Toledo will be starting freshman QB Terrance Ownes in place for the injured starting QB Austin Dantin who had 6TD to 8 INTs but completed 66.1% of his passes and had 8 rushing scores. Owens had a big game against E Michigan with 4 td throws, but come on E Michigan is one of the worst defenses in the country.
Toledo on offense will struggle with the freshman and Toledo already has awful numbers offensively ranked #91 in yards, #86 in passing, #74 rushing and #76 in scoring........with one of the worst kicking games in the country they will leave points on the field as well.
Toledo Defensively is ranked #92 in pass, and #63 in points allowed.
Northern Illinois is 6-2-1 ATS for the year and 6-0-1 last 7. They are winning by 19.5 points at home.
Offensively Northern Illinois can put up the numbers. Ranked #11 in rushing yards behind Senior Chad Spann's 1,000 yards and 12 Td's to go with his 5.5 per rush. Chandler Harnish will contribute big numbers to night as he completes 65.8% with 12 TD's and only 4 picks to go along with 559 rushing yards and 4 rushing TDs and a 5.9 yard per rush.
Defensively, NIllinois is a stout defensive team #16 in points allowed and #35 against the run and #41 in total yards allowed.
