MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State leads Western Michigan in Tuesday night MACtion.

It feels like November. It was 28 degrees just before kickoff with a windchill of 19 degrees, and it has not gotten any warmer.

Drew Plitt is making his second straight start at quarterback in place of injured starter Riley Neal. The redshirt sophomore has touchdown passes to Riley Miller and Corey Lacanaria. James Gilbert is back, but he did not start as the coaching staff looks for more consistent effort from the former All-MAC running back. He has responded two touchdowns tonight.
