No. 23 Toledo and Miami (Ohio) Clash for Mid-American Conference Title

Toledo Aims for Consecutive Conference Titles and Ranking Heading into Bowl Season

No. 23 Toledo is set to face Miami (Ohio) for the Mid-American Conference title, with the opportunity to achieve two rare feats: winning consecutive conference titles and being ranked heading into bowl season.
Toledo has won 11 straight games since losing the season-opener at Illinois and has not won consecutive conference championships since it captured three straight from 1969-71.
The game is a rematch with Miami (Ohio) who fell to Toledo 21-17 on Oct. 21. Miami lost quarterback Brett Gabbert to injury for the season during the third quarter of that game.
Toledo's Peny Boone has 1,359 yards for the season, which ranks fifth in FBS. He is also second in yards per carry and is eighth with 15 rushing touchdowns.
Miami's Graham Nicholson is a finalist for Lou Groza Award that recognizes the nation’s top placekicker. Nicholson has made all 23 field-goal attempts and is 33 of 34 on extra points.
