The Toledo Rockets had an up-and-down 2022 season that ended on a high note with a 17-7 victory over the Ohio Bobcats in the MAC Championship Game. Prior to that win, Toledo was in somewhat of a skid after losing its last two games of the regular season. The Rockets starting QB, Dequann Finn, was injured for those contests, although he tried to play through the ailment against the Western Michigan Broncos. Finn looked more like himself in the MAC Championship Game, going 16-of-25 for 154 passing yards and a touchdown while piling up 86 yards on 18 carries on the ground.
