Murray State @ Ball State

Current Records: Murray State 0-2; Ball State 0-2

What to Know

The Ball State Cardinals will stay at home another week and welcome the Murray State Racers at 2 p.m. ET Sept. 17 at Scheumann Stadium. Ball State has the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency.

The Cardinals came up short against the Western Michigan Broncos last week, falling 37-30. The losing side was boosted by RB Carson Steele, who rushed for one TD and 147 yards on 26 carries. Steele's performance made up for a slower game against the Tennessee Volunteers two weeks ago.

Special teams collected 12 points for Ball State. K Ben VonGunten delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.

Meanwhile, the Racers have to be aching after a bruising 34-3 defeat to the Jacksonville State Gamecocks last week.

With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. Check back to see which squad is able to work their way into the win column.
