1) How likely are QB Andy Roesch and OT Jeff Ramsey to play? To start? In return, I'll state that CMU RB Terrance Jackson and RT Jeff Jenerou, both starters coming into the season, are listed as doubtful, while LB Omari Colen is out, as he was last week.

2) I notice your starting TB, Scott Blair, didn't carry the ball much last week. Is he dinged-up?

1. Your guess is as good as mine. Both are still undetermined.

2. He has just not been getting the job done. Very disappointing to this point.

Thanks! :wave:

Given the close games our teams traditionally play, I'm expecting this one to be good. So far, the weather looks good for Saturday. :D

Injury update:

Per USA Today, reserve OL Justin Schneider (ankle) and WR Dante Ridgeway (undisclosed) are questionable for Saturday. Ridgeway would be a big loss, IMO. Any thoughts?

Ridgeway would indeed be a big loss.

Ball State has improved in each game this year under new coach Hoke and against increasingly better opponents each game. I think that will continue Saturday and that is why I believe the Cards will win by 13 or more. This is a team that is really improving and could cause some big ripples in the MAC this year. There is a new attitude at Ball State this year.
