It wasn’t how the Rockets drew it up, but Toledo (6-1, 3-0 MAC) will be happy to walk away with a gritty 13-6 win at Ball State (1-6, 0-3 MAC) on a cold and rainy day in Muncie.
After a stop on Ball State’s opening possession it looked like it was going to be a typical Toledo game where the offense puts on a show, with Dequan Finn taking the Rockets down the field inside the opponent’s 10-yard line. Just when it looked like Toledo was going to score an easy touchdown, however, the Cardinals defense stepped up and forced the Rockets into a Luke Pawlak field goal.
