Game Notes

Weather at Kickof: 55 degrees, clear skies, winds S 3 mph.

• In one of the wildest, craziest wackiest games ever witnessed in the Glass Bowl, Toledo ran out of time and came up one score short, losing to North-ern Illinois, 63-60, at the Glass Bowl.

• NIU began the game with back-to-back kickof returns for touchdowns, setting the tone for the contest. Junior WR Eric Page caught nine passes for 149 yards and tied the MAC record with fve touchdown receptions (set by Marshall’s Randy Moss). Senior RB Adonis Thomas rushed for 160 yards and two TDs, both of them in the fourth quarter, including UT’s last score with 4:16 left that put the Rockets up at the time, 60-56.

• The combined 123 points set a Glass Bowl record. Toledo had 589 yards of total ofense, while NIU countered with 532.
