Toledo (2-5, 0-3) managed just 234 total yards and had four turnovers, including two interceptions by Kent State's Jack Williams.
Aaron Opelt, who completed 16-of-27 passes for 135 yards with one interception, threw two touchdown passes for the Rockets. Josh Powell caught a 10-yard touchdown and Chris Hopkins pulled in a 17-yard scoring pass from Opelt.
Edelman completed 8-of-15 passes for 78 yards with one interception.
