Toledo is now 35-17 in the series with NIU, having won four of the last five outings.
Sophomore quarterback John Alan Richter had his first starting assignment in place of the injured Tucker Gleason, completing 15-of-28 passes for 152 yards and one touchdown.
Jerjuan Newton caught his 29th career touchdown. He needs one to tie and two to surpass Cody Thompson (30 from 2014-18) for Toledo’s all-time mark.
Richter’s 52-yard TD pass to Newton in the second quarter was the longest of his young career.
Toledo’s defense turned NIU over six times on fourth down. The game’s final three turnover-on-downs all came from the Rockets’ defense with 2:54, 1:01 and 17 seconds to play.
The Rockets’ defense did not allow a touchdown for the first time since Oct. 14, 2023, when Toledo defeated Ball State by an identical 13-6 score.
The Rockets’ 88-yard drive in the third quarter was their longest of the season.
Maxen Hook led Toledo’s defense with 13 tackles, his third game of the season with double-digit stops. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren made 12 stops, also marking his third double-digit tackle game this year.
Toledo's defense was credited with seven tackles for loss, with 1.0 each among seven different players.
