Western Kentucky at Ball State

Western Kentucky opened with Wisconsin and was simply over-matched. They came back in Week 2, and through up a dud against Maine in an unexpected loss. They do deserve some credit, however, as they could have folded up heading to Louisville last week. They brought a bit extra instead and it was almost enough, but they just ran out of gas on the road and coughed up a fourth quarter lead for a 20-17 loss. After playing tight with Notre Dame, the Ball State Cardinals were manhandled by Indiana. Ball State has had trouble in their two games vs. FBS opponents, where they have averaged just 13 points per game. Western Kentucky out-gained Louisville by over 100 yards, and despite the 0-3 record, this team has not quit and are improving. Make the play on Western Kentucky.
