I wondered what Sports Illustrated had to say about the Amazing Rockets and the prediction to beat the crap out of Air Force.
Did you know: Toledo's offense is not only powerful -- it's precise. The Rockets committed just 12 turnovers all season and ranked third in the FBS in turnover margin.
Final analysis: Everything the Rockets touch on offense turns to gold, which makes them hard to pick against. Toledo's ground tandem of Adonis Thomas and Morgan Williams rushed for 1,604 yards and 22 touchdowns this season. And led by wide receiver Eric Page (112 catches, 1,123 yards, 10 TDs), the Rockets make teams worry about the deep ball on every play. When starting quarterback Andy Dantin suffered a concussion three games ago, sophomore Terrance Owens stepped in and completed 80.2 percent of his passes for 860 yards, nine touchdowns and one interception over that span. After starting 1-3 this year, Toledo has won seven of its last eight, giving it substantial momentum going into this game.
The pick: Toledo 45, Air Force 38

They scored faster than I could post.

The RRRrockets crowd is feeling good that falcons scored. More fun when they fight.
