Dutchmen start sluggish, return to form, win 42-28

Summary: Penn A&T's offense looked like garbage for most of the first half. Quarterback Ritchy Teague tossed up two easy interception for the defense. The Dutchmen defense seemed to be ready to play, but gave up a few stretch plays that carved them up and allowed the Cardinals to take a 7-0 lead after 1. After extending their lead to 14-0 with two minutes to go, Penn A&T got a jolt on offense from Teague and RB Marcus Williams with big run plays, eventually finding the endzone. Just before halftime, Teague would then lob one up for Clifton Moss who beat his defender for the jump ball to score and trail by only three into the break.

To start the second half, Penn A&T's defense had to go back to work. They bent but didn't break, holding Ball St to a 30-yard field goal. Penn A&T would take advantage of that momentum into their next drive, lulling the Cardinal D to sleep before Teague found Floyd Wilson who had burned his defender. Wilson would score and give Penn A&T the 21-20. The hosts would score three more times over the remainder of the game, downing Ball State for the second consecutive year.
