Down 14-3 in the opening minutes of the third quarter, Toledo needed to quickly generate its offense in order to complete a home comeback against BYU. After a strong running attack tied the game at 21, free safety Kahlil Robinson returned a 40-yard interception to set the Rockets up inside the 5-yard line with under a minute to go. The timely defensive play was the catalyst behind Toledo’s 28-21 win, a statement victory to move the Rockets to a MAC-best 3-1 record (tied with Eastern Michigan).
