Eastern Michigan at Ball State

Eastern Michigan comes in off a disaster vs. Akron. They led with 30 seconds left and block an Akron game winning FG attempt. Game over, right? No! Akron picks it up and advances for a first down, calls two timeouts, and runs in for the game winning TD. So, how does this poor team bounce back from that at home? Especially when facing a rested really good Ball State team? They don't. Ball has covered every game on their schedule by double-digits on average. The offense is racking up 37.4 ppg and they are converting over 52% of third down situations. They have allowed just four sacks on the season and are rushing for over 5 yards a carry. So down and distance has favored them all season thanks to a balanced attack. Eastern Michigan has given up 37+ in five games already and hasn't faced this potent of an offense all season. Now they have to contend with it on the road, after a very emotionally disappointing loss. Ball State gets the call here.
