History favors Toledo in the series, especially at home

Toledo has consistently dominated the series against the Rockets, with the Eagles never managing to secure more than three consecutive wins. The last victory for Eastern against Toledo dates back to Oct. 13, 2018, when they triumphed with a narrow 28-26 home win.

Prior to that, the Eagles had been unable to defeat the Rockets since 2006. The victory, with a score of 17-13, was also achieved on their home turf.

The Eagles emerged victorious in Toledo only four times, with their most recent win occurring in 1999. Coincidentally, Santana’s hit song “Smooth” topped the charts during that time. The Eagles secured a 20-13 victory in that game.
