Recap
This was a very huge loss. We are now in third place in the MAC North with 2 games to play. This may have cost us the division title.

Offensively, we could get nothing done. QB Livesay was harrassed by the Western Michigan pass rush all game (4 sacks) and we could not get our running game going.

Defensively, we played our worse game all season (giving up 425 total yards). We could not stop Western Michigan's running game and their play action passing game killed us (19/27 203yds 4TD).

I really need for Western Michigan and Toledo to lose. This is the only way I really have a chance to win the division. Ball State struggles mightily on offense (112th in the nation) , but does feature a decent defense (56th against the run, 58th against the pass). After our showing last week, I am sure we will be a pretty motivated bunch.
