MUNCIE, Ind. — This one stung, but it was a different type of sting than what Ball State felt at Indiana.
It was just two weeks ago that Ball State went into South Bend as 34.5-point underdogs and gave No. 8 Notre Dame all it could handle. That did nothing but raise the bar for the rest of this 2018 season, which is why last week’s 38-10 loss to the Hoosiers was disappointing. “That’s not Ball State football,” Mike Neu said after the game.
So Neu vowed to correct those things. And 15,873 fans showed up at Scheumann Stadium on Saturday to see the version of the Cardinals that went toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the country on Sept.
