The Ball State Cardinals (1-5, 0-2 MAC) traveled to Ypsilanti, Michigan in the hopes of getting their second win of the season. The Eastern Michigan Eagles (3-3, 1-1 MAC) were looking to make sure they didn’t lose three in a row.
Something had to give with all the bad energy in the air, and on this day, it was the Cardinals’ frail defense.
After exchanging field goals in the first quarter, the Eagles would take the lead on a 65-yard drive that was capped by a two yard run by Samson Evans at the two minute mark in the second quarter.
