They knew it was coming. They even had a few extra days to prepare for it. But it was impossible to stop Nov. 1.
That “it” factor was Western Michigan wide receiver Corey Davis. The senior dominated Ball State (4-5, 1-4 MAC) once again, hauling in 12 passes for 272 yards and three touchdowns in a 52-20 road victory for the No. 17 Western Michigan (9-0, 5-0 MAC).
Davis finished his career against Ball State with 33 catches for 692 yards and eight touchdowns. Many wide receivers around the country would probably love to put up those kind of numbers — but in a season, not just four games.
