Kicker Ryan Tice proves himself as 'weapon' for Chippewas

Three plays following Ball State’s 19-yard trick pass, quarterback Riley Neal was in the end zone to give his team a 21-20 edge with 8:22 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Ryan Tice responded.

With 4:19 left in the game, the Central Michigan junior kicker put a ball down the middle of the uprights from 47 yards out for a two-point lead, which nearly ended as the game-winning points.

Despite CMU's 24-23 loss to Ball State on Oct. 13 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, Tice made his career-long 53-yard field goal, along with two others.

Earlier in the season, Tice made a 63-yard field goal in practice.
