Might want to check your guide ... on my DirecTV guide it says 615 and 615-1 ... I just posted what was on the BTN web page. On 615 and 615-1 is the Fox Sports College channel now.

Overall:
University of Toledo uses a version of the spread offense. It is Quarterback centered offense.

Run vs. Pass:
The Toledo Rockets try to be very balanced offense, attempting to be very close to 50/50 run to pass as possible.

Running:
University of Toledo will run the inside zone series, similar to Michigan’s, but will also run a Quarterback counter in which they pull the backside Offensive Guard to kick out the Defensive End.

Toledo will also include some option, but the Quarterback is more of the Tate Forcier skill set than Juice Williams.

Passing:
The passing game will go vertical at times, but that is not the primary package. They will use a lot of rollouts, boots, and 300 pass series.

That is the first step and hop drop. They also throw the 500 or 5 step drop series. A large part of the University of Toledo passing game is combination routes.

They will clear the zone with one or two receivers and bring another into the vacated area. They will also use rub offs and other "pick" schemes to get open in space. Also will use the Split End screens, bubble and slip.
