Bruce Gradkowski helps Toledo top Bowling Green in double OT

BOWLING GREEN (AP) -- Bruce Gradkowski threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Chris Hopkins in the second overtime to lift Toledo to a 44-41 victory over Bowling Green on Tuesday night.
Gradkowski also connected with Hopkins for a 3-yard TD pass with 1:43 left to tie it at 31 for the Rockets (8-3, 6-2 Mid-American Conference), who finished with 582 yards of offense.
Trinity Dawson, who had 170 yards rushing and two touchdowns, ran 2 yards to score in overtime to put Toledo in front 38-31. Bowling Green responded with Omar Jacobs' 25-yard TD pass to Steve Sanders.
After Joe Timchencko kicked a 37-yard field goal to give the Falcons a 41-38 lead, Dawson ran 3 yards to the Bowling Green 22-yard line. Gradkowski threw an incomplete pass before he found Hopkins for the game-winner.
Jacobs completed 25 of 43 passes for 315 yards and three touchdowns for the Falcons (6-5, 5-3), who dropped into a tie with Akron and Miami of Ohio for the top spot in the MAC East. P.J. Pope had 23 carries for 131 yards.
The matchup for the MAC championship game will be determined by the winner of Wednesday's Northern Illinois-Western Michigan game. That game was not completed in time for this edition.
