Sacramento State vs Toledo Prediction
I’ll stick with Toledo I suppose. The Rockets are coming off a nice offensive performance in the win over Western Michigan, logging 32 first downs, 595 total yards, 204 rush yards and 5-of-10 on third-down conversions. The defense gave up 351 yards on the other side but also did well on third downs (3-of-12) and had three takeaways. Toledo has scored 34 or more points in all six of their wins this year so if the offense gets going in this one they’ll be fine.
As for Sac State, they took a little while to get going in their win over Kent State but eventually managed 278 yards and 16 first downs. The Hornets played a pretty sloppy game though, with 10 penalties for 89 yards. The 31 points were something of a rarity for Sac State this year. They’ve posted more than 17 points just twice so far, winning both times. I don’t think they’ll be able to keep any sort of pace with Toledo if the Rockets are on point.
