After leading by 10-0 for the majority of the game, Toledo rallied in the 4th quarter, scoring two touchdowns and playing stubborn defense, briefly taking a 14-10 lead late in the 4th. But Braxton Burmeister used his legs to scramble for several chunk gains, and led the Aztecs down the field, setting up the game-winning touchdown run by Jordan Byrd with under a minute to play. Caden McDonald would seal the win with an interception on the following position, as the Aztecs improved to 2-2 on the season.
