Buy PhotoMUNCIE, Ind. — This game was as great, as atrocious, and then as disappointing as it could be for Ball State.
The Cardinals (4-6, 1-5 Mid-American Conference) lost 48-41 to Eastern Michigan 41-40 to cap their home schedule with a bitter loss for seniors like KeVonn Mabon — more on him later.
Ball State jumped out to an early 21-0 lead as Eastern Michigan (6-4, 3-3) twice gave the Cardinals a short field with fumbles inside its own 33-yard line. The rest was up-and-down, full of emotion and riddled with big plays.
Here are three quick thoughts on the wild game.
Kudos on the discipline
