The Toledo defense proved to be the first to make a stand, as the Eagles picked up one first down on their next drive but could not sustain it. It was shaping up to be a long night for both defenses. It was 14-7 Toledo, and we hadnвЂ™t even played five minutes of football.

On the third play of their ensuing drive, facing third-and-two at their own 33 yard line, Koback went 67 yards for his second TD of the first quarter, and just like that the Rockets were back in front. Bryant was five-of-seven for 67 yards on the drive, and found Tanner Knue for an 18-yard TD to knot the score at seven with 10:53 remaining in the first quarter. The Eagles responded emphatically, as QB Ben Bryant led the Eagles on an eight play, 75 yard scoring drive of their own. The Rockets had a 7-0 lead, and barely 90 seconds had run off the clock. After Toledo had driven deep into EMU territory, RB Bryant Koback capped off the drive with a 22 yard TD run. Toledo, the hosting side, did not waste any time getting things rolling.ДЄfter taking the opening kickoff and starting at their own 25, the Rockets needed only five plays to open the scoring.

It was an epic back-and-forth battle to kick off the weeknight #MACtion slate, but only one team could emerge the victor, and on this Tuesday night in the Midwest, it was the Eastern Michigan Eagles (6-3, 3-2 MAC) who would find victory over the Toledo Rockets (4-5, 2-3 MAC) by a final score of 52-49 at the Glass Bowl.
