MUNCIE, Ind. -- It wasn't a perfect performance, but it was an entertaining one and, in the end, it was a decisive victory.
Drew Plitt tied the Ball State record with six touchdown passes, and the Cardinals rolled up nearly 600 yards of offense in a 57-29 victory over Fordham on the newly minted Gainbridge Field at Scheumann Stadium.
Plitt's 439 yards were 30 fewer than his head coach Mike Neu's school record in the famous 1993 Homecoming comeback against Toledo. But the redshirt junior signal caller didn't get a chance at that one.
