What’s Going To Happen
Ball State is looking to get closer to bowl eligibility, needing to win two of its last three games to get there. More than that, there’s still a shot to win the MAC West by winning out and getting a Western Michigan loss along the way.
Central Michigan could lose a Western Michigan loss, too. The Chippewas take the West by winning this week, beating Toledo, and getting a Bronco loss.
The Chippewas have won four of their last five games with an improved defense and and an offense that’s able to put up yards in chunks. It’s a balanced attack getting a huge year out of Jonathan Ward, who’s run for 100 yards or more in five of his last six games.
Ball State has hit a bit of a snag over the last few weeks after going on a nice three-game winning streak. The offense as stalled a bit, the defense is getting killed by good ground games – the Cardinals have allowed close to 700 yards over the last two weeks.
On the flip side, Ball State’s running game means everything. CMU has a strong run defense, but the Cardinals are funning over and throw just about everyone, hammering away for over 200 yards in four of the last five games, running for 196 against Eastern Michigan in the other one, and …
Ball State pulls this off at home in desperation mode.
