Toledo Rockets football statistical leaders
Lance Moore is tied for first on the Rockets' career receiving touchdowns list.
The Toledo Rockets football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Toledo Rockets football program in various categories,[1] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Rockets represent the University of Toledo in the NCAA's Mid-American Conference.
Although Toledo began competing in intercollegiate football in 1916,[1] the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1951. Records from before this year are often incomplete and inconsistent, and they are generally not included in these lists.
These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:
- Since 1951, seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length.
- The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play varsity football until 1972 (with the exception of the World War II years), allowing players to have four-year careers.
- Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002.[2] The Rockets have played in eight bowl games since this deicison, giving many recent players an extra game to accumulate statistics.
- The Rockets have appeared in the MAC Football Championship Game five times since it first began in 1997.
These lists are updated through the end of the 2015 season.
