It was not the prettiest of contests, but they don’t all need to be as long as the result falls the right way, which it did for the Ball State Cardinals (1-2, 0-1 Mid-American Conference) on Saturday afternoon in a takedown of the Murray State Racers 31-0 at Scheumann Stadium in Muncie, Indiana.
The first two possessions went about as well as it could have for the Cardinals, forcing a turnover on downs on the first possession, and then opening the scoring account with a 13-yard Brady Hunt touchdown reception to cap off a 43-yard drive to go up 7-0 at the 11:40 mark of the first quarter.
