Ball State at Toledo
Nov. 14, 2006
Toledo, OH - Glass Bowl
• Toledo's seven-game winning streak against the Cardinals in the Glass Bowl was snapped with tonight's loss. It was Ball State's first win in Toledo since 1991.
• The loss drops Head Coach Tom Amstutz's record in November to 13-4.
• Junior RB Jalen Parmele carried the ball 20 times for a career-high 173 yards and one touchdown, including a career-long 92-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. The 92-yard scamper is the second longest run from scrimmage in school history and the longest run from scrimmage by a Rocket in a MAC contest.
• Parmele now has gained over 100 yards in three straight games and four times this season. His previous career high was 145 yards vs. Akron on Oct. 28, 2006.
• Parmele was also the 11th player in school history to surpass 1,000 yards rushing in a single season. It marked the 14th time in the 86-year history of UT football that a Rockets running back eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing in a season.
• Senior TE Chris Hopkins scored his seventh touchdown of the season which ties him for ninth in school history for TD's in a season. He is tied for second in UT annals for TD's in a season with Andrew Clarke in 2002. The school record is eight TD's by Clarke in 2003.
• Freshman PK Alex Steigerwald kicked a career-long 39-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 17-17. However, he missed a 36-yard field goal in the waning seconds of the second quarter to mark his first miss this season. The missed field-goal attempt was also the first for the Rockets since Jason Robbins misfired on a 36-yarder against Ohio on Oct. 16, 2004.
• Freshman QB Aaron Opelt made his sixth straight start and completed 2-of-3 passes for 16 yards. Sophomore QB Clint Cochran came on in relief and completed 12-of-23 passes for 136 yards.
• Senior WR Steve Odom finished with one catch for six yards and has now caught a pass in 48 straight games, every game of his career and the longest streak in the nation. He needs just six receptions to pass UT's all-time leader, Lance Moore (222 from 2001-04), and become Toledo's all-time leading receiver.
