The Ball State football team beat IU 42-20 last night. It was the first win against a BCS opponent in the team's history. Five years ago, the BSU football team received $1 million dollars to get beat up by the likes of Auburn, Clemson, Iowa, and Purdue and now we are bringing in teams or trading home-and-home series with the big boys. This victory means so much to this program that I can't explain it in words.
The big win was dampened by a neck injury suffered by wide receiver Dante Love. Late in the second quarter he was hit head on by an IU player and was knocked out. He laid on the field for 20 minutes while the medical staff put him on a stretcher and carted him off the field. He was transported to Methodist hospital in Indianapolis. He had "numbness and tingling" while still on the field. His condition is not know at this time. My thoughts are with him.
As for the game, MiQuale Lewis ran for 166 yards and 4 TDs as the BSU offensive line made huge gaping holes for him to run through. QB Nate Davis was 16-25 for 239 yards with a TD and he ran for 31 yards including a huge first down run in the fourth quarter. Miles Trempe caught 2 passes for 80 yards and a TD. Tight end Darius Hill caught 5 passes for 69 yards. The defense played well also with 2 sacks, 2 interceptions including one for a TD by Sean Baker , who was the national defensive player of the week last week. A great all-around game for the Cardinals. They will host Kent State next Saturday for homecoming at noon. GO CARDS!!!!
