Black Friday is a time of great deals, and perhaps there is no greater deal than watching the Miami RedHawks (7-4, 6-1 MAC) and the Ball State Cardinals (4-7, 3-4 MAC) match wits in Muncie in the latest edition of the Red Bird Rivalry. Miami is coming off of its fifth straight win and has locked up the MAC East title while Ball State is no longer bowl-eligible after dropping its last four games. Since the Red Bird Rivalry was instituted in 2016, the RedHawks have a three-game winning streak over the Cardinals.
Miami is coming into the game after putting on a historic defensive performance against Akron last week with a program-record 12 sacks.
