Last year’s lineup of movies, music and TV has left some pretty big shoes to fill for 2014. Last year saw Sandra Bullock floating in space, a Netflix comedy-drama about a women’s prison, pop geniuses releasing albums and Beyoncé changing the game by releasing a secret album with 14 songs and 17 music videos.

Jahwan Edwards lead game with 146 rushing yards. Edwards didn’t get a carry until the seventh offensive play of game. He looks to be main component in 2014 offense. With all the attention focused on quarterback Keith Wenning and his final game as a Ball State football player, it was a different player who stole the spotlight from the senior. The player was junior running back Jahwan Edwards. Edwards had 28 carries for a game high of 146 rushing yards and a score in Ball State’s 20-23 loss to Arkansas State in the GoDaddy Bowl on Sunday night. However, it took until the seventh offensive play for Ball State to give the ball to Edwards. Edwards said he was feeling “a little frustration” when he hadn’t received a chance to run the ball. “But you have to trust in the coaches in what they’re doing,” he said.

Colts fans couldn’t believe the scoreboard, and the Kansas City Chiefs couldn’t believe their incredibly bad luck. It seemed unfathomable. On a day Luck appeared to be pressing and, at times, as bad as he ever has while putting Indianapolis in a 28-point deficit, the Colts quarterback somehow turned things around.
Ball State canceled classes for Monday ahead of a cold snap that is expected to push temperatures to the lowest in 20 years and present a threat to health. Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler said he plans to call a snow emergency for the city, ordering all but emergency traffic off the streets.
