Ball State football in 'vulnerable position' after Homecoming loss to Eastern Michigan

MUNCIE, Ind. — In Ball State’s Homecoming game 25 years ago, Mike Neu led the biggest comeback in program history as the Cardinals rallied from a 27-point halftime deficit.

There was no such rally in Ball State’s Homecoming game Saturday afternoon at Scheumann Stadium. Not even close.

Neu’s Ball State squad wasn’t competitive in a 42-20 loss to Eastern Michigan, failing to capitalize on any momentum it gained with the comeback win last week at Central Michigan. The Cardinals (3-5, 2-2 MAC) were outplayed in every facet by Eastern Michigan (4-4, 2-3 MAC).

"Obviously a disappointing day," Neu said.
