For the second straight season, Ball State is going to a bowl game.
The Cardinals (6-6), led by sixth-year head coach Mike Neu, will take on Georgia State (7-5) in the Camellia Bowl. Last year, Ball State won its first bowl game in program history, beating San Jose State in the Arizona Bowl.
Ball State came into the season receiving votes in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll. After an up-and-down season, the Cardinals were able to become bowl eligible with a 20-3 win over Buffalo in the final game of the regular season.
