The Neu Era is here.
Friday night the Ball State University Fighting Football Cardinals will take the field at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta to kick off their 2016 season against the Georgia State Panthers. Out is former Ball State head coach Pete Lembo, now working an assistant’s gig at Maryland. In is former Ball State quarterback, Mike Neu, tasked with leading the Cardinals back to Mid-American Conference relevancy. Neu was MAC Offensive Player of the Year in 1993, and the Ball State job is his first as a head coach.
The cupboard’s not empty for Neu, as there’s plenty of returning offensive weapons.
