More than 5 years since last meeting, Ball State and Georgia State meet in Camellia Bowl

MUNCIE, Ind. — The Camellia Bowl will be a full circle moment for Ball State football head coach Mike Neu and some of his players.

Neu, who's one game away from finishing his sixth season leading the Cardinals, coached his first game back at Ball State against Georgia State. That game, a 31-21 Ball State road victory, was the second time the two programs had met. The previous year, on Oct. 17, 2015, the Panthers beat the Cardinals in Muncie.

Now, Ball State (6-6) and Georgia State (7-5) will meet for the third time in the Camellia Bowl on Christmas Day at 2:30 p.
