The Ball State Cardinals (3-3, 2-1 MAC West) finally wrap up their non-conference slate this week on their home grounds, hosting the independent football program UConn (3-4).
Both teams are coming off road victories, as the Cardinals took down the Chippewas on Saturday afternoon, while the Huskies reeled off a fairly dominant victory against FIU under the Saturday lights in Miami.
A win for either side here would be very pivotal to their future ambitions, as it would get them one step closer to securing a postseason bowl bid. It would also continue some positive momentum, as both Ball State and UConn have won their previous two games coming into this contest.
