Ball State played its best complete game of the season Sept. 17: a 41-14 dominant home win over Eastern Kentucky.
But fast forward 24 hours later, that win was history. The next day, it was time to focus on Florida Atlantic.
Ball State (2-1) will travel to Boca Raton, Florida, to take on Florida Atlantic (1-2) at FAU Stadium Sept. 24. This will be the first ever meeting between the two schools.
Head coach Mike Neu knows the Cardinals will need to play their best to beat a Florida Atlantic squad that is returning home after a 63-7 road beating at Kansas State last weekend.
