Toledo Triumphs Over Pittsburgh in Historic Six-Overtime Bowl Game

The GameAbove Sports Bowl set a record for the longest bowl game as Toledo edged Pittsburgh 48-46 after dramatic twists and six overtimes.

  • Toledo quarterback Tucker Gleason accounted for five overtime scores, including four passing touchdowns, leading the Rockets to victory in the GameAbove Sports Bowl.
  • The game broke the bowl record for most overtimes, previously set just two days earlier, highlighting an unprecedented postseason for college football overtime battles.
  • Pittsburgh, starting freshman quarterback Julian Dugger due to injuries and transfers, saw Dugger deliver four overtime scores but fall short on the final play under heavy pressure.
  • Toledo's defense secured two pick-sixes during regulation, including a 58-yard interception return by Darius Alexander, which helped force overtime after a late game-tying field goal.
  • Pittsburgh's season ended with a six-game losing streak after starting 7-0, while Toledo celebrated its first bowl win since 2018 in a game marked by penalties and replay drama.
