YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) — John Alan Richter threw for 288 yards and a touchdown and Autavius Ison ran for 104 yards and a score to lead Toledo to a 34-14 win over Eastern Michigan on Saturday.

Richter threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Adjatay Dobbs to open the scoring midway through the first quarter and Ison scored on a 13-yard run midway through the second for a 24-7 lead.

When CJ Miller added his second short-yard score it was 31-7 at halftime.

The defense contributed six sacks and nine tackles for loss for the Rockets (5-2, 2-1 Mid-American Conference) and they stopped the Eagles (4-4, 3-1) on downs four times.

Noah Kim threw a pair of touchdown passes for Eastern Michigan, but the Eagles had only 34 yards on the ground.
