The Western Michigan Broncos (1-1, 1-0 MAC) and Ball State Cardinals (0-2, 0-1 MAC) played another classic in Muncie, reminiscent of previous seasons, but this go-around would be see the Broncos pulled out the victory on the road in Sheumann Stadium by a final score of 37-30. Ball State had won three of the last four matchups between the two programs and none of the victories were expected or simple.
This game would be no different, even if the Broncos got the win.
The game got weird immediately. Ball State got the ball first and started from their own 22 yard line.
