SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) --- CJ Miller ran for 135 yards, Autavius Ison had 101

half. Ison scored on a 19-yard run late in the third quarter and Reice Griffith

Toledo led 20-10 deep into the fourth quarter. Sacramento State's Jamar Curtis
scored on a 3-yard run that capped off a 12-play, 75-yard drive but it left
only two minutes on the clock. The Hornets got the ball back at their own
16-yard line with 55 seconds remaining but they gained only a few yards before
being stopped on fourth down.
