FOOTBALL: Live Blog, Toledo in control

By David Carducci

Kent State’s offense continues to struggle as Toledo has extended its lead to 31-7.

George Bollas remained at quarterback to open the third quarter, and while he has made a few big plays, the offense still hasn’t been able to add a point to the scoreboard. One promising drive ended with an interception in the end zone on a first down play from the Toledo 28 midway through the quarter.

The penalties continue to roll up against Kent State. Through three quarters, the Flashes have been flagged nine times for 83 yards, including another personal foul  (this time for roughing the quarterback) to set up Toledo’s lone score of the quarter – a 1-yard dive by Kareem Hunt.

Some numbers:


  • Toledo has outgained Kent State 392-to-211
  • Phillip Ely’s numbers have improved, now 17-for-30 for 190 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions
  • Terry Swanson has 161 yards on 14 carries for Toledo while Kareem Hunt looks to have returned to form in his return from a hamstring injury, adding 54 yards on 12 attempts.
  • Bollas leads Kent State’s rushing attach with 45 yards on five carries. Trayion Durham has 34 yards on 12 attempts and Raekwon James, after opening the game with a 16-yard run, has 19 yards now on six carries.


Not much has gone right for the Flashes since the first quarter came to an end. It was a good game after 15 minutes.
