Ball State falls 37-19 at Toledo, loses chance at bowl eligibility

Ball State could only watch as Toledo running back Kareem Hunt streaked past the defense down the right sideline, only hope that the senior stepped out of bounds as he sprinted into the dense fog.

Hunt’s 71-yard receiving touchdown on the second play of the third quarter erased a strong effort that cut the Rockets’ lead to 20-10 at the half.

Toledo (9-2, 6-1 MAC) combined its fast start with a dominating second-half effort to hand Ball State (4-7, 1-6 MAC) a 37-19 loss at the Glass Bowl Wednesday night. With the loss, the Cardinals are officially eliminated from bowl consideration.
