Recap
Ok, this was weird. With :29 seconds in the game, Rice scores the go-ahead TD to make the score 31-28. On the ensuing kickoff, I get the ball to my 38yd line. On the next play, I throw a 44 yd bomb to WR Andre Mueller and get the ball to Rice's 18yd line. I call my last timeout. Think the next play will be a FG to send the game into overtime, right? Well for some strange reason, the game calls an off tackle runs that runs the time out. Bug? I think so. That call at the end of the game makes no sense.

Offensively, my offense was potent. We moved the ball well and gained 410 total yards (258 in the air, 194 on the ground). The downside was our Offensive line yielded 5 sacks. Hopefully we can gel quickly. We fumbled 4 times (lost 3) so this killed our drives as well.

Defensively, we gave up far too many yards (280 in the air, 179 on the ground). Though we held Rice to 3/12 3rd down conversions, we gave up the big play far too often. We we needed a stop, we did not get one. We got good pressure on the QB (4 sacks). DE Orlando Cox got 2 of those sacks, so he may be an impact player for us.

Ball State comes away with a huge statement game, demolishing UAB. I will be keeping an eye on them going forward. The other games cam out as I expected them too.

Next weeks Schedule
Central Michigan at Oklahoma State
Toledo at Western Michigan
Bowling Green at South Florida

Will be interesting to see how Central Michigan holds up against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Central Michigan is only a 4pt underdog, so they have a very good chance of winning.
