Ypsilanti, MI – Toledo nearly came back from a 25-point deficit at Eastern Michigan, but the Rockets' furious rally came up just short in a 28-26 loss to the Eagles at Rynearson Stadium on Saturday.
Toledo (3-3, 1-1 MAC) trailed 28-3 going into the fourth quarter when junior Mitchell Guadagni engineered three scoring drives, the final touchdown coming with 20 second left when Guadagni scrambled 10 yards to cut the lead to 28-26. Toledo went for the two-point conversion to tie the game but Guadagni's pass to sophomore Bryce Mitchell was broken up. Toledo's attempt at an on-side kick went out of bound, giving EMU its first win over the Rockets in the past 12 meetings.
