Preview | Box Score | Recap

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP)—DaJuane Collins scored Toledo’s go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, and Barry Church blocked a field goal in the final seconds to preserve the Rockets’ 20-19 win over Northern Illinois on Saturday night.

The Huskies grabbed their first lead of the game to start the fourth quarter, as Chandler Harnish’s second 1-yard touchdown run put his team up 19-14.

But the Rockets (4-3, 2-1 Mid-American Conference) took the lead back when Collins, who rushed for 139 yards and two scores, ran it in from 4 yards out for a 20-19 lead. Toledo couldn’t convert the 2-point try.

The Huskies (3-3, 1-1) began their last possession with 2:43 left and drove 50 yards in just over two minutes, setting up the 42-yard field goal try by Mike Salerno with 37 seconds left.

Austin Dantin threw for 202 yards and a TD for Toledo, and Harnish ran for two Northern Illinois scores.

    NIU has turned into the team they were before Turner. I was there for the Turner era and it was fantastic. Same with Wolfe but now an awful secondary and overall defense is losing these games for them.

    On top of that, Toledo turned the ball over THREE times! No excuse that you can't take advantage of that. And NINE penalties?! Are you kidding?! Get some discipline fellas. Novak would have been all over those guys for that nonsense
