Ball State knocks off No. 25 Toledo to halt Rockets' 8-game win streak

TOLEDO, Ohio -- On a night when Toledo was ready to celebrate a national ranking and charmed season, Ball State ruined everything. Jahwan Edwards scored untouched on a 15-yard run around left end with 1:43 left to propel the Cardinals to a 34-27 victory over the Rockets (No. 25 BCS, No. 23 AP) on Tuesday night, ending Toledo's eight-game winning streak. "This is a tremendous win," Edwards exulted in the chill while his smiling teammates were filing out of the locker room. "Going 6-6 last year and barely scratching the surface of going to a bowl game. Now we're bowl eligible -- plus one. And this is not the end." Edwards' run capped an 86-yard drive after Ball State's beleaguered defense had stopped the Rockets (8-2, 5-1 Mid-American Conference) a yard short on David Fluellen 's run on fourth-and-2 at the Cardinals 15. Edwards finished with 105 yards on 16 carries.
