2023 Ball State Cardinals Positional Previews: Offensive skill positions

Last season, Ball State averaged just north of 384 yards of offense per game — the fourth-highest mark in the MAC.

Despite the Cardinals’ ability to move the pigskin, they fell in the bottom third of the league in points per game (23.3 points/game).

The cardinal and white’s offense featured a clear disconnect between gaining yardage and pushing the ball across the goal line. With key contributors departing this offseason, rectifying this offensive issue will be in the hands of a fresh group of skill position players.

A slew of new names occupy the quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end roster positions for this year’s Ball State squad, and many of them will likely see considerable action.
