Last week, we saw some signs of life. This week, it was confirmed.
Ball State (3-3, 1-1 MAC) is back.
After an incredibly disappointing 1-3 start to the season, the defending MAC champions turned in their second straight impressive performance, flexing their muscles late in a 45-20 victory over divisional rival Western Michigan (4-2, 1-1 MAC.)
Ball State set the tone early in this one, with Drew Plitt connecting with WR Jalen McGaughey for a 75 yard TD strike on the first play from scrimmage on the sophomore’s second reception of the season.
After this initial strike, Western Michigan seemed to gain control of the game.
