2021 Mid-American Conference Football Week 4 Game Preview: Toledo Rockets vs. Ball State Cardinals

Entering the 2021 season, the Cardinals and Rockets were labeled with the highest odds of winning the MAC West division. But suddenly, after three weeks, instead of a marquee MAC West matchup, both teams are aiming to save their seasons from a disastrous 1-3 start. Not many programs in college football endured rougher Week 3 performances than these two. Ball State, the reigning conference champion, fell to Wyoming 45-12 in a game that was essentially over by halftime. Meanwhile, Toledo got shocked at home by a winless, struggling Colorado State program by the not-so-close final score of 22-6.

Ball State (1-2) controlled the last two iterations of this matchup, but Toledo (1-2) is hoping to spoil the Cardinals’ season this Saturday in Muncie, IN.
