Northern IllinoisTOLEDO, Ohio – Junior Shakif Seymour rushed for a career-high 175 yards and two touchdowns to lead Toledo to a hard-fought 35-33 triumph over Kent State in the Glass Bowl Tuesday night.
Seymour, taking over as the Rockets' main running option due to a first-half injury to sophomore Bryant Koback, gained 40 yards and two first downs in Toledo's final possession as the Rockets ran out the clock and held on to the victory.
With the win, Toledo (6-3, 3-2 MAC) gained bowl eligibility but more importantly stayed in the hunt in the MAC West Division. The Rockets are a half-game behind Western Michigan and Central Michigan (4-2) and tied with Ball State (3-2).
