The high-flying Toledo offense hosted NIU's star-studded defense in the Glass Bowl on Thursday night. With both teams entering with undefeated MAC records, only one could escape and continue to control its own destiny in the MAC West.
That team would be the home squad, the Toledo Rockets. Led by senior quarterback Logan Woodside, the Rockets' offense was able to get the best of Rod Carey's top 20 scoring defense. Woodside launched the pigskin for 361 yards on 23-of-31 passing to preserve Toledo's 5-0 MAC record and win a fifth-straight game for the Rockets.
