Records: Middle Tennessee (6–6), Toledo (7–5)
Middle Tennessee (6–6, 4–4 Conference USA)
The Blue Raiders needed a win in the final game of the regular season, and they got it done with a 10-point win over the Florida Atlantic Owls. Middle Tennessee lost starting quarterback Chase Cunningham for the season with a lower leg injury, and the Red Raiders went 2–2 in the four full games without him. Middle Tennessee is much more of a defensive team, as their offense ranks outside the top 100 in yards per play this season.
Toledo (7–5, 5–3 MAC)
The Rockets fell one game short for the top spot of the MAC West behind the Northern Illinois Huskies and Central Michigan Chippewas, and they lost to those teams by a combined five points. Toledo is among very few teams ranked inside the top 25 in yards per play offensively and defensively, and they had the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on the ropes in Week 2. The Rockets are playing at a high level right now with three consecutive victories heading into the Nassau.
Toledo vs Middle Tennessee Bahamas Bowl Preview
– It wasn’t the season Toledo was hoping for. It came into the year with enough talent to win the MAC Championship, but after a rough start it got hot late with three straight wins to close things out thanks to the league’s best defense and an offense that scored 49 points in three of its last four games.
– A strange team, Toledo got flagged more than anyone in America, but it made up for the mistakes by leading the nation with the fewest turnovers. The small things mattered — four of the five losses were by three points or fewer. Now the team that gave the ball up less than anyone faces the team that led the nation in takeaways.
– Middle Tennessee sputtered early, but turned things around in the middle of the season. Just as it looked like it was about to make a move, it lost star QB Chase Cunningham for the season before the final month.
– The Blue Raider offense picked it up with a decent balance, the defense kept taking the ball away, and the two wins in the final three games — including a clutch performance at Florida Atlantic to get bowl eligible — were enough to get here.
