TWTW: Toledo Screws Up Big 10/11/12-MAC Challenge, Beats Purdue

((HT: MyFoxToledo.com))

Austin Dantin rushed for two touchdowns and passed for two more to lead Toledo past Purdue 31-20. Not bad for a school that came into the game last in Division I in total offense. They wrapped up the game with 378 yards- almost 40-percent more than what they're used to seeing in the box score...

Dantin completed 21 of 31 passes for 209 yards for the Rockets, who won at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette for the first time since 1992, and are now 3-1.

Rob Henry, filling in for an injured Robert Marve again, threw for 140 yards, a touchdown and an interception for the Boilermakers who are now 2-2.

Often left unmentioned among the best signal callers in the conference, Opelt has proved he belongs just two games into his senior season. He finished 15-of-23 passing against the Buffaloes (0-2), a week after completing 41 of 67 passes for 423 yards in the season-opener at Purdue.

“I was pleased with the way I played,” Toledo QB Aaron Opelt said. “Like I said from Day One, we have playmakers. It's easy for me to get the ball to them and watch them make plays.”

Opelt threw for 319 yards and ran for another 109...
