TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Messiah Burch broke loose on an 87-yard touchdown run with 4:30 remaining to help Buffalo pull away and beat Toledo 23-8 on Saturday.
Connor Walendzak’s 1-yard touchdown run capped a 14-play, 86-yard drive that pulled Toledo to 16-8 with 4:45 remaining. Burch answered on the first play from scrimmage on the next series.
Burch finished with 137 yards rushing on 17 carries. Jason Wright had a short-yardage touchdown run for Buffalo (3-3, 1-1 Mid-American Conference). Oliver Hautanen made field goals from 24, 29 and 31 yards for the Bulls.
John Alan Richter was 22-of-35 passing for 203 yards for Toledo (4-2, 1-1). Walendzak added 50 yards rushing on 10 carries.
The Rockets put up 304 yards of offense compared to Buffalo’s 351, but were 3 of 14 on third-down conversions, committed three turnovers and were penalized 15 times for 137 yards.
