Nov. 27—Two third-down touchdowns have given Toledo a 21-7 halftime lead over Akron.

The Rockets scored on a 51-yard touchdown pass in the flat to Bryant Koback, who broke several tackles and changed directions en route to the end zone. The play came on third-and-36 after Dequan Finn was sacked for a loss of 21 yards.

Finn continued the third-down magic just before halftime, firing a dart to Devin Maddox on third-and-seven from the Akron 23-yard line.

The Zips got their TD on the second play of the second quarter, as quarterback Kato Nelson connected with running back Jonzell Norrils, a Toledo native, on a three-yard pass.
