Welp, that was an underwhelming start to the season.
The Ball State Cardinals defeated the Georgia State Panthers 31-21. Ball State dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, rushing for 325 yards and holding GSU to 77 rushing yards.
All of my biggest fears with this Panthers team came to fruition. The defense got wore down throughout the game. Ball State’s time of possession was 35.56 minutes, most of which was spent running the football. The Cardinals ran the ball 52 times, for 6.3 yards per rush.
On offense the Panthers struggled to run the ball once again.
