It’s been a day since it happened and all I can think is that the Ball State Cardinals did NOT beat the Northern Illinois Huskies....but rather the Huskies beat themselves and literally gave the game to the Cardinals after one of the sloppiest, ugliest 30 minutes of football I have ever seen.
The Cardinals managed just 34 passing yards but, since most of their second half possessions started in NIU territory, they didn’t have to do much to win the game.
Here’s what we learned from the BSU victory...
1. NIU continues to kill themselves with DUMB, DUMB, DUMB fouls
The Huskies committed a season-high 12 penalties that resulted in 111 free yards for Ball State.
