TEAM HISTORY

Ball State has actually been around for quite a while. Wikipedia says 101 years.

Does that surprise you?  Me too.

I’d also tell you that they’re from Munice, Indiana, but that likely won’t mean a whole lot to you unless you’re David Letterman, perhaps.

In 101 years, they haven’t done much. All-time wins above .500 with 11 conference titles in various defunct conferences you’ve never heard of, unless you’re David Letterman, perhaps.

Their history is remarkably unremarkable.

SERIES HISTORY

Auburn is 3-0 all-time against Ball State. Every matchup has occurred within the 21st  century, and Auburn has never scored less than 30 points in any of them, with ya boy right here giving you the first look at that game all the way back to their last matchup in 2009.

I’ve been doing this for so long…

WHAT TO WATCH

We ran the ball again! Let’s see if we’ll do it some more. We looked functional on offense again! Let’s see if we’ll do it some more.

We had some defensive holes, but Ball State won’t tell us much about what we’ve tightened up. Let’s just get a few takeaways and have fun doing it. Okay?

PREDICTION

Ball State was shut out by Purdue. We got this one, and even David Letterman knows it.

Auburn – 41, Ball State – 3
