TOLEDO -  The Toledo Rockets, fresh off a 47-13 season-opening victory over Elon, will now head west to face Nevada on Sept. 9 (4:00 p.m. PT/ESPN3). 

Senior quarterback Logan Woodside threw for 314 yards and junior placekicker Jameson Vest kicked a career-best four field goals to lead Toledo to the victory over the Phoenix. While Toledo's offense racked up 553 yards of total offense, it was the Rockets' defense that dominated much of the action, limiting the Phoenix to just 175 yards of total offense and seven first downs. Elon gained only 65 yards in the first half and failed to complete a pass in five attempts. 

Woodside's main targets were senior Cody Thompson and sophomore Diontae Johnson. Thompson caught five passes for 112 yards. Johnson, who missed all of last year with an injury, caught four passes for 102 yards. He also returned a kickoff for a touchdown.

The rushing attack was led by senior Terry Swanson, who rushed for a pair of touchdowns, redshirt freshman Shakif Seymour (102 yards, one TD) and sophomore Art Thompkins (99 yards).

Nevada (0-1, 0-0 MWC) is coming off a 31-20 defeat at Northwestern Saturday. The Wolf Pack led, 20-17, in the fourth quarter until the Wildcats scored two late touchdowns to pull away.
