MUNCIE, Ind. — The score was Indiana 39, Ball State 38.
As Keith Wenning marched down the field with 49 seconds on the clock — a 14-yard pass to Jack Tomlinson and then 12 yards to Willie Snead, and then a completion to Jamill Smith for no gain that required the Cardinals use a timeout — two kickers watched.
Steven Schott, a fifth-year senior back in 2012, was preparing like he would for any kick. He stretched his leg, tried to stay loose and blocked out all the noise. The atmosphere, he remembers, was electric that September night in Bloomington.
