Ex-Tide QB Phillip Ely leads Toledo in upset over No. 18 Arkansas


LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Former Alabama reserve quarterback Phillip Ely threw for 237 yards and the Toledo defense rattled No. 18 Arkansas into a number of mistakes in a 16-12 upset on Saturday.

Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen threw his first interception since last Nov. 1 -- after 134 attempts. He misfired on two passes from the Toledo 16 in the final six seconds.

Deep in their own territory, the Rockets gave up a safety with 52 seconds left that cut their lead to 4 points. Arkansas received the free kick, then drove from its 32 to the Rockets' 16 with no timeouts before Allen's throws sailed away.
