Defense
BALL STATEEASTERN MICHIGAN - Ball State running back MiQuale Lewis must have been licking his chops as he watched the Eagles' run defense on film. Eastern Michigan is the worst of 13 MAC teams in stopping the run, allowing an average of 223 rushing yards per game. Lewis could finish with two Ben Franklins, but he'll be riding the bench for most of the fourth quarter with a comfortable Ball State lead.
