The University of Toledo football team exorcised some November demons with a strong second-half performance in a 27-17 win over Northern Illinois Thursday at the Glass Bowl.

The Rockets (8-1, 5-0 MAC) took control of the Mid-American Conference West division with its second straight win over Northern Illinois (6-3, 4-1), snapping a three-game skid against the Huskies at home and won for just the second time in the last eight matchups in the series.
