Ball State and Western Michigan meet on Saturday afternoon for the first time since their epic showdown to close the 2020 regular season. With the Western division title on the line, the Cardinals overcame a 14-point fourth quarter deficit to eke out a 30-27 victory and earn their first trip to Ford Field since 2008.
The final play of the game will live in MAC lore forever, with Western Michigan seemingly score the game winning TD as time expired, only to see it called back after one of their numerous laterals on the play was deemed a forward pass.
