BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — Phillip Ely hit Cody Thompson with an 80-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter Tuesday night, and Toledo won Jason Candle's first game as head coach, beating No. 24 Temple 32-17 in a soggy Boca Raton Bowl.

Candle was promoted from offensive coordinator three weeks ago when Matt Campbell took over at Iowa State.

The Rockets (10-2) positioned themselves to crack the final Top 25 for the first time since 2001, the last season they won 10 games.
