MUNCIE, Ind. — Four months removed from a tumultuous season, Ball State football coach Mike Neu isn’t making excuses. The season started promising with two wins in three games, but nine straight losses made for a demoralizing finish.
The losing took a toll, Neu said, shattering a younger group’s confidence week by week. That’s why heading into spring practice – Thursday is the first of 15 practices – the No. 1 priority is to restore belief and confidence.
"(We need to) make sure everyone on the field this spring believes that we can line up and beat anybody and compete against anybody," Neu said.
