MAC: With chants of "B-C-S" from the Ball State student section, the Cardinals rolled the Huskies from Northern Illinois 45-14 last night from Muncie, IN. Ball State upps their record to 9-0 overall and 5-0 in the MAC. Nate Davis was impressive throughout the night completing 18-22 passes for 300 yards and 4 touchdowns. Defensively, the cardinals first stringers forced a pair of turnovers and forced Northern Illinois Punter Andy Dittbenner got a workout, punting eight times. Davis may have been named Player of the Game, but Louis Johnson became the feature player of the games catching six passes for 165 yards and one touchdown (22 yards) while doing his best Michael Crabtree, working the sidelines like a tightrope. Overall the Cardinals were impressive on both sides of the ball against Northern Illinois and now has five days to prepare for Miami (Ohio) at Oxford, Ohio on Tuesday night. After Miami, Ball State is at Central Michigan then home for their finale against Western Michigan.
My quick predictions for tonight's BCS matches are Virginia Tech over (23) Maryland, it's not been good to be ranked in either the AP or BCS for the ACC. And I'll take (8) Utah to win a close one against (12) Texas Christian. If the game was played in Fort Worth, I would go the other way. I'll have the rest of my predictions tomorrow night. Till then, enjoy tonight's games and Brady Quinn's NFL starting debut against the Denver Broncos.
