BOCA RATON, Fla. – Quarterback Dequan Finn threw for one touchdown and ran for another to rally Toledo to a 21-19 victory over Liberty at the Roofclaim.com Boca Raton Bowl at FAU Stadium on Tuesday.
The win marked the first bowl victory for Toledo since a 31-17 win vs. No. 24 at the 2015 Marmot Boca Raton Bowl. Tuesday's win is also only the second time in Toledo history and the first time since 2001 that the Rockets won both the MAC Championship Game and a bowl game in the same season.
Finn, who was briefly knocked out of the game after being sacked in the first quarter, hit tight end Lenny Kühl for a four-yard touchdown in the third quarter, then ran it in himself in the fourth quarter to put the Rockets up 21-7 with 10:35 to play.
