Kent State Post-Game Notes

  • The 56-34 win over the Golden Flashes improves UT’s overall series record to 26-21. The Rockets have won four in a row over Kent State.
  • With the win, Toledo becomes bowl eligible for the ninth straight season.
  • The Rockets eclipsed 50 points for the fifth time this season, the most in program history. The previous record was four games with at least 50 points in 2011.
  • Bryant Koback finished with 192 rushing yards on 17 attempts and two touchdowns. He set new career highs in yards and attempts in Thursday’s game and his 192 rushing yards are the most by a Rocket since Kareem Hunt had 200 yards against Western Michigan on Nov. 25, 2016. Terry Swanson also had 192 yards vs. Bowling Green last year.
  • Koback’s 192 rushing yards are the third-most by a freshman in a game in program history.
  • As a team, Toledo rushed for a season-high 384 yards, the most in a game since Nov. 15, 2017 at Bowling Green (389 yards). UT also had two 100-yard rushers for the first time since that game. In addition to Koback, Art Thompkins rushed for a career-high 122 yards on Thursday.
  • For the second time this season, Toledo had multiple players rush for at least two touchdowns (Koback and Thompkins). Koback and Shakif Seymour each had two TDs against VMI in the season opener.
  • Diontae Johnson’s 83-yard punt return for a touchdown in the second quarter was his second return TD of the season and the fourth of his career.
  • Tyler Taafe returned an interception for a touchdown in the third quarter, the first interception of his career. It was also the first interception return for a TD by a Rocket since Rolan Milligan on Sept. 26, 2015 against Arkansas State.
  • The 56 points scored by Toledo are the most scored by a team in the history of this series.
  • UT averaged a season-high 7.8 yards per rush on the ground against the Golden Flashes.
