Bryant was five-of-seven for 67 yards on the drive, and found Tanner Knue for an 18-yard TD to knot the score at seven with 10:53 remaining in the first quarter. The Eagles responded emphatically, as QB Ben Bryant led the Eagles on an eight play, 75 yard scoring drive of their own. The Rockets had a 7-0 lead, and barely 90 seconds had run off the clock. After Toledo had driven deep into EMU territory, RB Bryant Koback capped off the drive with a 22 yard TD run.
Toledo, the hosting side, did not waste any time getting things rolling.Īfter taking the opening kickoff and starting at their own 25, the Rockets needed only five plays to open the scoring. It was an epic back-and-forth battle to kick off the weeknight #MACtion slate, but only one team could emerge the victor, and on this Tuesday night in the Midwest, it was the Eastern Michigan Eagles (6-3, 3-2 MAC) who would find victory over the Toledo Rockets (4-5, 2-3 MAC) by a final score of 52-49 at the Glass Bowl.
