Ball State’s follow up act to its 2020 MAC championship has been a far cry from the inspiring run the Cardinals concocted in the fall of 2020. After entering the year as the first MAC team to garner preseason AP Poll votes since 2016, the Cardinals are off to dreary 1-3 start and dropped their conference opener to Toledo last week.
In the final non-conference game for any MAC team this year, Ball State is slated to face quite a challenge. Army enters Muncie, IN with a spotless record while fielding one of the country’s premier rushing attacks and an elite run-stopping unit.
