Ball State head football coach Mike Neu said he's loved his group of running backs since his first day on the job.
After the first game of the season, he has even more reason to love them.
The Cardinals rushed for 325 yards — their highest total since 2012 — and four scores in a 31-21 win over Georgia State on Sept. 3. Staying true to their running back by committee approach, three different backs scored a rushing touchdown in the season opener.
