Game Day Primer: Ball State Cardinals at Indiana Hoosiers

Written By T.J. Inman (@TJHoosierHuddle)

What: Ball State Cardinals at Indiana Hoosiers

When: Saturday, September 10 at 4:00 PM

Where: Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Indiana

How to Watch: The game will be broadcast on ESPNews and you can listen to the radio broadcast on the IU Radio Network.

What’s at Stake: The Ball State Cardinals have won three straight contests against the Indiana Hoosiers and they defeated Kevin Wilson in each of his first two seasons in charge in Bloomington. An IU victory, particularly a dominant one, would validate just how much progress has been made under Kevin Wilson. In addition, this game is certainly one IU fans are counting on as a “W” as the Hoosiers continue their quest to return to a bowl game for the second straight season. Following this contest, the Hoosiers have a bye-week. Those fourteen days between games would be much more enjoyable at 2-0 than they would be at 1-1.

Back Home Again in Indiana: Numbers that Matter Against the Cardinals

Written By Nick Holmes (@HoosierHolmes)

The Hoosiers welcome Ball State to town this Saturday, the MAC school from Muncie that has had Indiana’s number here of late. But not only are bragging rights up for grab, but for the first time in Coach Wilson’s tenure the Hoosiers could have back-to-back seasons with a 2 and 0 record out of the gate. Also, Indiana will get their first opportunity to break in that new field turf they had installed back in June.
