The Battle for the Bronze Stalk once again ended in a one score game and this time went into double overtime, where the Ball State Cardinals were able to out-gun the Northern Illinois Huskies, 44-38.
The Huskies controlled the game early on, building up a 24-7 lead at the half and forcing three turnovers in the first 30 minutes of the game.
NIU (1-4, 0-1 MAC) wasn’t able to convert any of those turnovers into points, however, despite two of their possessions starting inside the 30. On the first interception, NIU started at the 11-yard line but only managed a handful of yards before their kicker, John Richardon, missed a field goal.
