TOLEDO, Ohio -  Fresh off a 45-0 victory over Murray State, Toledo heads out West for a late-night matchup at Colorado State on Saturday, Sept. 21 (8:15 p.m. MT/10:15 ET/ESPN2).

The Rockets and the Rams are 1-1 in their all-time series and haven't met on the gridiron since Toledo lost in Fort Collins in 1973. The two schools will meet again in Toledo in 2021.

Toledo (1-1, 0-0 MAC) heads to the Rockies with a boost of confidence following its shutout of the Racers before 25,361 at the Glass Bowl. It was the Rockets' first shutout since a 42-0 whitewashing of Marshall on Oct. 14, 2000, a string of 228 games.

Senior quarterback Mitchell Guadagni threw for a career-high 266 yards and three touchdowns in the Murray State win. Guadagni, who suffered a concussion in the third quarter of Toledo's 38-24 loss at Kentucky two weeks ago, completed passes to nine different players and threw for touchdowns of 8, 11 and 43 yards. Guadagni's favorite target was junior tight end Drew Rosi, who caught a career-best five passes for 84 yards and one touchdown. Toledo's offense racked up 538 yards of offense, while the defense held Murray State to just 94 yards of total offense in the second half.

Colorado State (1-2, 0-0 MW) is coming off a 55-31 loss at Arkansas last week.  The game was tied, 34-34, until the Razorbacks scored three touchdowns in th fourth quarter. Senior Marvin Kinsey, Jr. rushed for 180 yards and one TD in the loss.
