Tonight night College Football and we will see the Toledo Rockets take on the Cincinnati Bearcats at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. The game has a start time of 7:00 pm (Eastern)
The Rockets have already found time to pack in a lot of drama. Since the season's start, Toledo has gained a new starting quarterback, delivered a blowout, received a blowout, and lost that new starting quarterback. It's been a memorable two weeks in the Glass City.
The Toledo Rockets return to action tonight with a new look under center. Starting quarterback Phillip Ely was lost for the season when he tore his ACL in the Rockets 49-24 home loss to Missouri this past Saturday. The Rockets (1-1) hit the road for the first time this season tonight when they travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bearcats.

Due to some peculiar scheduling, this marks the season-opener for UC. The Bearcats may have not taken the field yet, but they're expected to be one of the best programs out of the AAC, and are actually the media favorite to win the conference heading into the season. The Bearcats are even ranked No. 3 on SB Nation's Underdogs Poll; a poll Toledo dropped out of this week.
As a team that has yet to even suit up this season, the Bearcats are something of an unknown quantity. Adding to that, like Toledo did in its opener, Cincinnati will be breaking in a new, highly-touted transfer quarterback as its starter.

Gunner Kiel, has already worn plenty of different hats in his young college career before ever taking a snap. The 6-foot-4 sophomore committed first to Indiana, then LSU, before enrolling at Notre Dame, from which he transferred to Cincinnati after a redshirt freshman year. With his mind seemingly made up and the starting job locked in, Kiel can finally try to live up to his billing starting tonight.
With an untested quarterback and an empty win-loss column, this year's Cincinnati squad could be hard to peg.
While any insight on the 2014 Bearcats would merely be speculation, the presence of the well-traveled Tuberville offers a peek into what Toledo might face tonight
For now, a lot is unknown about tonight's matchup. But with Cincinnati considered apreseason favorite to be among this year's top Group of Five teams and Toledo in need of some good news following a Saturday of insult and injury, both teams will be keen on figuring things out quickly.
