Zips Football Looks to Bounce Back After Losing Key Players

This year’s annual homecoming game brings Ball State to InfoCision Stadium-Summa Field for the first time since 2013, on Saturday, Oct. 7, at 3:30 p.m. The 43rd Annual Varsity “A” Sports Hall of Fame Class will be honored prior to the game.

Although the Zips were able to pick up their first conference win against Bowling Green last Saturday, they also lost starting running back Warren Ball with a season-ending injury. Upon injury, Ball was the team’s leading rusher with 322 yards and four touchdowns on 57 carries during the 2017 season.

“We lost Warren Ball for the year,” said Head Coach Terry Bowden during Tuesday’s press conference.
