           Toledo, Ohio - The University of Toledo football team will play a home-and-home series with San Jose State, Toledo vice president and athletic director Mike O'Brien announced today. Toledo will host San Jose State in 2023 and will make the return trip to San Jose in 2028.
Â
The contest will mark the first regular-season game between the two schools. The only other meeting was a 27-25 Rocket victory in 1981 at the inaugural California Bowl in Fresno, Calif. Toledo triumphed on a 41-yard field goal by Tony Lee with just 15 seconds left on the clock.
Â
           "We are very pleased to add San Jose State to our non-conference football schedule," said O'Brien. "They have a proud football tradition and play in a very competitive conference (Mountain West). Many of our fans will remember the thrilling bowl game played between our two schools back in 1981. We look forward to an exciting series."
Â
       Toledo opens up its 2019 season at Kentucky on Aug. 31 before hosting Murray State in the home opener on Sept. 14. For season tickets or single-game tickets, go online or call 419-530-GOLD (4653).
