The University of Toledo couldn’t get the win it needed to stay in the Mid-American Conference West Division race as the Rockets fell 38-15 to Northern Illinois on Wednesday. The Huskies are now 6-0 in the conference and in the driver’s seat to win the division and go to the MAC title game. With a 3-3 conference record, Toledo is eliminated from winning the division.
