Martez Hester hasn't forgotten the feeling of walking off the field after last year's game against Georgia State.
Ball State gave up 412 passing yards — 246 in the first half — on its way to a 31-19 home loss. The secondary was better in the second half, but it couldn't hold up long enough to complete a comeback.
"It was definitely a disappointing loss because we go into every game expecting to win," Hester said. "It was also a close game. But every loss hurts."
