All Ball State (3-3, 2-0 MAC) had to do was keep Eastern Michigan (3-3, 0-2 MAC) from gaining 80 yards in a minute and 19 seconds, and the Cardinals would secure the win and their first 2-0 start in Mid-American Conference play since 2013. With no timeouts remaining, the Eagles went to work.
You could go with one of the obvious choices.
Ball State’s (2-3, 1-0 MAC) goal coming into the week was to get to 1-0 by the end of Saturday. The Cardinals did just that as they defeated Northern Illinois (1-4, 0-1 MAC) in comeback fashion, 27-20. Here’s a look at some key aspects from the game.
Five weeks into the 2019 football season, and Ball State (1-3, 0-0 MAC) is back to square one. The schedule shows nothing but Mid-American Conference opponents, and the record is 0-0.
