SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — CJ Miller ran for 135 yards, Autavius Ison had 101 yards and a touchdown, and Toledo defeated Sacramento State 20-17 on Wednesday night.

The Rockets (7-2, 4-1 Mid-American Conference) climbed into a tie for second-place and remain in the running for the MAC championship game.

After trailing 10-7 at halftime, the Rockets scored 13 points in the second half. Ison scored on a 19-yard run late in the third quarter and Reice Griffith kicked two field goals.

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.
