TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Tucker Gleason threw for 318 yards, two touchdowns and ran for a score and Toledo never trailed in its 30-20 Mid-American Conference opening win over Miami (Ohio) on Saturday.
Gleason ran it in from the 2 near the midway point of the first quarter for a 7-0 lead. He later threw a 6-yard touchdown to Jerjuan Newton for a two touchdown lead.
After a series of field goals between the two teams made it 23-6 with 24 seconds left in the third, Miami scored its first touchdown when Brett Gabbert threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Davis to reduce its deficit to 23-13.
Early in the fourth, Toledo (4-1, 1-0) sealed it when Gleason threw a 1-yarder to Anthony Torres to end an eight-play, 75-yard drive and create a 30-13 advantage.
Gabbert threw for 296 yards for Miami (1-4, 0-1) and Javon Tracy had 119 yards receiving on 10 receptions with a touchdown.
