You're welcome, IU.

The phrase "two-man game" is usually more associated with the game of basketball.

Don't tell that to IU quarterback Kellen Lewis and receiver James Hardy who torched Ball State. The final score was 38-20. The win ends a 3 game losing skid for IU. Lewis finished with 354 yards on on 22 for 35 passing, 4 touchdowns. The yards and touchdowns are career highs for the sophomore. Also, he now has 23 touchdowns on the year, a new school record. He was also the Hoosiers' leading rusher with 52 yards on 10 rushes. James "Laser" Hardy had 8 catches for 116 yards and 2 scores. The 6'7 Fort Wayne native constantly harassed the smaller BSU defenders with his superior size and his speed. This is guy who has many NFL scouts salavating with his rare size and speed.

Keep in mind that the Cardinals held a 10-3 lead after the first quarter. Lewis had 3 turnovers in the first 17 minutes. After this, the offensive line for the Cards became virtually non-existent. Watching the game, Nate Davis was pressured every time he dropped back. He was sacked twice. Throw in the fact that the running game didnt show up, and you have a recipe for a loss. BSU had 67 net yards rushing. Davis finished the day 26 for 48, 332 yards, one score, and 2 interceptions. One of the interceptions was returned 58 yards by Chris Phillips for a score. Dante Love had 14 catches for 177 yards. Huge day for the "Love Boat."

Smart move Coach Hoke, giving Ian McGarvey the nod as the kicker. The true freshman connected on kicks in the first and fourth quarters.

Indiana becomes bowl eligible for the first time since 1994. You're welcome Hoosiers. CBS.Sportsline.com has predicted that IU will play the MAC's own Central Michigan Chippewas in the Motor City Bowl. IU has beaten twenty straight MAC opponents. But best of luck attempting to contain Dan Lefevour.

BSU, sitting at 5-5, is looking to become bowl eligible for the first time since 1996. The Cards next play Toledo, a televised home game on ESPN2, next Tuesday. The Rockets recently defeated Eastern Michigan, 58-28. Toledo is also 5-5, so expect a slug fest for bowl eligibilty.

Hopefully, Nate Davis and the rest of the Cards can land a huge right hook and become bowl eligible when they travel to platy the Huskies of Northern Illinois.

GO CARDS!!!
