- The Cardinals seemed to have the
momentum during the first few series of the game which were
played mostly in CMU territory. A freak wind aided 78 yard
punt turned the momentum against the Cardinals and pinned Ball
State deep in their own territory. The Cardinals went three
plays and out on that series and when CMU got the ball back
they scored their first touchdown. CMU attempted a two point conversion
but failed.
- CMU could have lead by more at
halftime, but the Cardinals intercepted a pass on the two yard
line with the Chippewas threatening to score. Having thwarted
the CMU scoring threat, but backed up against their own goal
line, BSU turned to veteran mistake proof QB Joey Lynch to
guide them out of peril. Joey promptly threw an interception.
Things turned out OK however when CMU kicker Rick Albreski
missed a 30 yard field goal. Nate Davis threw an interception
on the next Ball State possession but Central ran out of first
half time before they could mount a serious drive.
- The half ended with BSU down
only by 6 points.
- CMU scored on their first second
half possession, but the Cardinals stopped another CMU two
point conversion to keep the score at 12-0.
- The Cardinal offense finally got
rolling on BSU's first second half possession scoring on a 1
yard Brad Salyer touchdown run. Brian Jackson's PAT made the
score 12-7.
- BSU stopped CMU on the Chip's
next series and appeared ready to take control of the game. Another
miss judged punt bounced off B.J. Hill's leg and was recovered
by the Chippewas at the Ball State 8 yard line. CMU scored a
touchdown two plays later but missed the PAT.
- On the next series Ball State
mounted a 66 yard drive that took them to the CMU 1 inch line,
but the Cardinals failed to score on 4th down and inches with
only 6 minutes left in the game.
- Ball State would get the ball
one more time but that drive ended after two plays when Nate
Davis was sacked and fumbled the ball away.
