Jeremiah Detmer was a perfect 5-for-5 kicking field goals. After Toledo (7-1) ate up nearly eight minutes of the fourth quarter clock, Detmer's 25-yard kick with 42 seconds to play accounted for the final margin, giving the Rockets their seventh straight victory.

Legaux struggled to get into a rhythm, completing just 15-of-36 passes for 227 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. He added 69 yards rushing and a score on 10 carries for Cincinnati (5-1), which will play undefeated Louisville on Friday.
