MUNCIE, Ind. -- A normally disciplined Ball State football team hurt itself with penalties Saturday and saw a WKU quarterback change spark the Hilltoppers to a 28-20 win at Scheumann Stadium.
Steven Duncan came off the bench to guide three second-half touchdown drives and push WKU over the top in a tight game.
Ball State was penalized 10 times for 120 yards on the afternoon and had several other holding penalties declined in long down-and-distance situations. Six times the Cardinals found themselves needing at least 18 yards to pick up a first down. For its part, WKU was penalized 11 times for 102 yards.
