On the other side of things, Ohio University clinched their position in a post season bowl with their 6th win coming last week at home against Kent State.
Ball State
Sitting in 2nd last in the MAC West, the Cardinals look to finish off the season with just some momentum to carry into next year as they really have poised as no threat to the rest of the conference here in 2015.
After starting the season at 2-1, the wheels came off the Cardinals season in a crashing manner. They have dropped 6 of 7 and that includes a 5 game losing streak. Their lone win in that span came against a weak Umass team in what was a sloppy game itself.

They bring in the nation’s 82nd ranked offense as they average 377.4 yards per game.
The road has also been a struggle for them as they are just 1-4 SU away from Indiana and are conceding even worse as they allow 42.0 points per road game.
