The Ball State Cardinals (3-7, 2-4 MAC West) get set to host the Kent State Golden Flashes (1-9, 0-6 MAC East) for an increasingly rare Saturday matchup in November, as the two sides look to build momentum for the 2024 season with wins late in the year.
The Cardinals have been in pretty good form over the last month, having won two contests against teams they were expected to lose to in Central Michigan and Northern Illinois, while taking Toledo and Bowling Green to the wire. That’s been enough to show what this team could have been despite early injuries and malfunctions, especially since the run began once Kiael Kelly was given the reins of the offense.
