It was a beautiful day for football in Happy Valley, as the Ball State Cardinals traveled to Penn State looking to knock off the Nittany Lions in the first ever meeting between the two programs.
Ball State entered this game on an eight-game winning streak, having not lost since their season opening heartbreaker to Miami last year. On the back of that eight-game win streak, which was one of the longest active FBS streaks in the country coming into the game, the Cardinals walked onto the field with confidence that they could shock the world and leave Beaver Stadium with a victory.
