Stopping Lew Nichols, feeding the TEs: 5 things to watch in Ball State football vs. Central Michigan

MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State football (2-3, 1-1 MAC) rallied from 21 points down to earn its first Mid-American Conference victory over reigning conference champion Northern Illinois last week.

Redshirt freshman tight end Brady Hunt called it a "season-changing type of win" during Ball State's weekly press conference. A loss would've painted a grim picture on the remainder of the Cardinals' season.

Now, Ball State gets another test traveling to Central Michigan (1-4, 0-1 MAC) for their first road conference game of the season. The two will kick off from Mount Pleasant at 3:30 p.
