Box Score
KENT, Ohio -- Toledo redshirt freshman Bryant Koback ran for a season-high 192 yards and two touchdowns to lead Toledo to a 56-34 victory over Kent State at wintry Dix Stadium in Kent on Thursday. It was the sixth win of the season for Toledo (6-5, 4-3 MAC), making the Rockets bowl eligible for ninth consecutive season. It was also the fifth time this season Toledo topped the 50-point mark, a school record.

Toledo junior Art Thompkins added 122 yards and two scores to Toledo's running attack, which racked up a season-high 384 yards. Sophomore quarterback Eli Peters completed 11-of-14 passes for 131 yards and two scores. Junior Diontae Johnson helped the cause with an 83-yard punt return just before halftime that gave Toledo a 28-17 lead going into the locker room. Toledo then scored three quick touchdowns in the third quarter to take a 49-17 lead that ended Kent State's hopes of an upset on a night that featured rain, sleet and snow.  Full Story...
