TOLEDO, Ohio — University of Toledo sophomore linebacker Saeed Holt (Pittsburgh, Pa.) was named the Mid-American Conference West Division Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in Toledo's 31-24 victory over Western Michigan on Oct. 5.
 
Holt tied his career high with 12 tackles against the Broncos and made two huge plays at the end of the game. With WMU at Toledo's 12-yard line with just over two minutes to play, Holt sacked Bronco quarterback Jon Wassink for a 12-yard loss, setting up a fourth-and-24 situation. Wassink scrambled on the next play and was tackled two yards shy of the first down by Holt, giving Toledo the ball with 1:44 to play.
 
The Rockets (4-1, 1-0 MAC) travel to Bowling Green (1-4, 0-1 MAC) Saturday in the annual Battle of I-75 rivalry game. Kickoff is at noon on the CBS Sports Network.
