The Ball State Cardinals host the Western Michigan Broncos in the first Mid-American Conference football game of 2022 on Saturday afternoon, giving us an early card fight for the main event battle that should be the MAC West title bout.
Both teams lost to their Power 5 opponent to open the season, with Western Michigan losing to Michigan State and Ball State losing to Tennessee.
Both are starting quarterbacks that had their first career starts last week.
Ball State’s quarterback John Paddock looks more productive on paper with a better completion percentage and almost a yard advantage in yards per attempt.
