TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- Freshman Bryant Koback rushed for 124 yards and two touchdowns, helping Toledo beat Central Michigan 51-13 on Friday.

Toledo scored 24 unanswered points in the first half and Tyler Taafe returned an interception 21 yards on the first play of the second half for a 31-0 lead.

Koback and Art Thompkins each had 1-yard touchdown runs in the first quarter and Koback added an 8-yard score to cap the first-half scoring.

Koback was coming off a season-high 192 yards and two scores against Kent State to become bowl eligible for the ninth consecutive season.

The Rockets topped the 50-point mark for a school-record sixth time this season, reaching on Nevone McCrimmon's 45-yard run late in the fourth quarter.

Eli Peters completed 14 of 30 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown for Toledo (7-5, 5-3 Mid-American Conference).

Central Michigan (1-11, 0-8) was competitive in most of its conference losses, with just two defeats coming by more than 11 points. The Chippewas got on the board with 3:58 remaining on Mike Danna's 53-yard fumble return.
