The Toledo Rockets (4-2. 2-0 MAC West) took no prisoners in a 52-32 win over the Northern Illinois Huskies (1-5, 0-2 MAC West) in a contest which was not nearly as close as the final tally might indicate.
The best defense in the MAC completely contained the Huskies and cemented itself as the most significant reason the Rockets will be favored to win the MAC for the rest of the season.
Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell had the game of his life with three first-half interceptions, returning two of them for touchdowns. He would tie the program record for interceptions in a single game on the opening drive of the second half, for his fourth nab of the contest.
