Coming off a highly emotional victory against Michigan, Notre Dame faces what could be considered a “cool down” game against Ball State. The Cardinals have spent much of the last three years at the bottom of the MAC, with just nine wins over those three seasons.
Last week, Ball State defeated Central Connecticut State, a team that went from 2-9 to 8-4 and in the FCS Playoffs in one year.
