Kareem Hunt runs for five touchdowns as Toledo wins GoDaddy Bowl
Hunt capped a big season Sunday night with a 271-yard, five touchdown performance in Sunday's GoDaddy Bowl that helped the Rockets get a 63-44 win over the Red Wolves.
Three of the touchdowns came in the first half and they were bookended by Toledo defensive touchdowns.
After the Rockets scored on a fumble recovery on Arkansas State's first offensive play of the game, Hunt had 4 and 44-yard touchdown runs to give Toledo a 21-7 lead.
Arkansas State then pulled within a touchdown, but a 29-yard touchdown run by Hunt put the Rockets back up two scores in the second quarter. The Red Wolves were never within a single possession again the rest of the evening.
Following Hunt's third touchdown, Toledo's Allen Covington returned a Fredi Knighten fumble 66 yards for a touchdown and a 35-17 halftime lead.
Despite missing three games during the season, Hunt finishes his sophomore campaign with 1,631 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns. The GoDaddy Bowl moved him from No. 26 in the 2014 rushing rankings to No. 9. Barring a monster game from Oregon's Royce Freeman, Hunt will finish the year in the top 10.
Toledo ran for 365 yards as Damion Jones-Moore also cracked the 100-yard mark and scored two touchdowns.
Knighten finished 21-29 passing for 395 yards and five touchdowns, but the fumble that Covington returned for a touchdown was a crucial mistake. Knighten had plenty of time before he was hit (the blitzing defender who hit him hesitated on the play) and had Arkansas State scored a touchdown on the possession, Toledo's lead would have been cut to four.
The Red Wolves' run game struggled as Knighten flourished passing. Arkansas State had just 53 total yards on the ground.
Toledo ends the season 9-4 while Arkansas State finishes 7-6.

Oregon, Ohio, issuing Buckeye week proclamation; not changing name
The city of Oregon, Ohio, is not changing its name after all.
After a report emerged that the town would change its name on Jan. 12 because of the Oregon-Ohio State National Championship Game, the mayor of the city says the town won't be doing so.
According to the Toledo Free-Press that included a quote from the city administrator, the town was going to issue a proclamation on Jan. 5 about the town's name for Jan. 12. However, according to mayor in a report posted on Sunday, the history of the town's name is too important and the proclamation will rather be about one of the city's slogans changing.
"To change the name of Oregon just seemed wrong for us," says Mayor Mike Seferian. He says the origin of both names come from the Oregon territory out west even before Oregon was a state.
"It was an association back in the 1800s The people here were trying to get a business transaction going with the Oregon territory as well as the state of Oregon and it's pronounced the same. Their accent might be different out there but the name came from the same spot."
So, the city's official name is City of Oregon and it has two slogans. City by the Bay and City of Opportunity. The mayor says he doesn't plan on changing the name for a day, but he will change one of the slogans and make a proclamation to support Ohio State University.
"We will declare the week of January 5th -12th, Ohio State Buckeye week in the City of Oregon."
The idea to change the name came from a change.org petition from two Oregon, Ohio, residents. Oregon is a suburb of Toledo.

Toledo's Allen Covington returns fumble for TD in GoDaddy Bowl (GIF)
Two Arkansas State fumbles meant two Toledo touchdowns in the first half of the GoDaddy Bowl on Sunday.
The second fumble by the Red Wolves was returned 68 yards by Toledo DT Allen Covington, who is listed at 6-2, 275 on Toledo's roster. Yes, it may be the last fat guy touchdown of the 2014 bowl season.
Covington got the score after Arkansas State QB Fredi Knighten was hit on blitz off the corner. The ball popped up into the air and Covington had nothing between himself and the end zone.
Toledo scored on the first offensive play of the game ... on defense. Arkansas State lost the ball and Trent Voss picked the ball up and dove into the end zone. The two defensive touchdowns added with three touchdown runs by star RB Kareem Hunt meant a 35-17 halftime lead for the Rockets.

VOD: Some tailgating Florida fans had a surprise visitor on Saturday
Florida fans tailgating before Saturday's Birmingham Bowl saw someone unexpected before Florida played East Carolina.
New Florida coach Jim McElwain was in attendance at the game and stopped by some tailgates. He especially surprised the group at about the 27-second mark. They looked to have been having some big fun already, and McElwain upped their pregaming a notch or two.
Florida defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin was the team's interim coach for the game. Durkin is not returning to Florida and is considered a candidate to become the defensive coordinator at Michigan.

Khaki sales in Ann Arbor have increased after Jim Harbaugh's arrival
People around Michigan are apparently wanting to emulate Harbaugh and the volume of pants sales has increased since he was introduced as Michigan's coach last week.
Scott Hirth, an owner of M-Den, the university’s official merchandise retailer, said it saw increased sales of all khakis in its Ann Arbor stores this week (it sells both pleated and flat-front versions, as well as Dockers with a block M stitched into the back pocket for $70). “Let’s just say we sold way more khakis than your normal Monday,” Mr. Hirth said just before leaving to deliver boxes of khakis to its concession stand at Crisler Arena, where the basketball game was soon to begin.
Another store even has a mannequin dressed as Harbaugh in the window. Auburn coach Gus Malzahn was a popular man in the south to be for Halloween, but the guess here is that Harbaugh will be even more popular in Michigan this year.
