Five Things Learned: Ball State @ Notre Dame

When Saturday dawned, fans of the Ball State Cardinals had to expect that their learning outcomes for the afternoon would be of the ugly variety. It was the first-ever trip to South Bend to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the same Irish that were 8th-ranked and hot off the heels of a victory over the Michigan Wolverines in week one. Ball State was coming off a big win themselves, over FCS Central Connecticut State, and hoping to keep momentum heading in a positive direction after a demoralizing 2017. Suffice to say hope is alive in Muncie.
