Colorado State fans, brace yourself for some future MACtion.
In twin press releases Monday, CSU and Toledo announced that the two football programs have reached an agreement on a future home-and-home series. The Rockets will travel to Fort Collins for a Sept. 21, 2019, matchup, while the Rams will make the trek to Toledo Sept. 25, 2021.
“We’re excited to secure a home-and-home series with Toledo,” said CSU head coach Mike Bobo in a statement. “It’s a program that has been a consistent winner in a tough Mid-American Conference, and played in a bowl game five of the last six seasons. They will present a significant challenge for our football team.”
“We are very pleased to add the series with Colorado State to our football schedule,” UT athletic director Mike O’Brien said. “Colorado State has an excellent football tradition and adds another attractive opponent on our future home schedule. It also helps bring our Toledo brand to new part of the country.”
The Rams and Rockets have met twice previously in football, the first in 1970 and the second in 1973. The home team claimed victory in each of those games.
