Oops…

Not making the plays when they are there. Kelly is an athlete

If I were BS I would run Kelly, run him again and then run him some more

Just asking, but do they have a DEI program at Ball State??

The busted that right down our throat on 3rd down for 12 yeards.

Dozier is having a bad game at returning.

We got anyone else?

Like I was worried about before the game. Running games they have advantage with extra major weapon in Kelly. Our passing game first failed due to Rocky and then receivers. We need that to win

Why can't we play like this last drive more often?

Rocky is at his best rolling out of the pocket and making plays.

BS was playing off the ball willing to give up shorter passes. NIU to their credit took advantage of that.

Exactly. Head scratcher.

Well, when squares up to the LOS hes good, that first drive he did not do that.

Did anyone see that Partridge catch on the last drive, could that have been a TD if chest level? I love hitting receivers moving and not standing still .

It's just frustrating watching us rush for 1-3 yards or no yards and keep trying with no big rush plays or success. Then we end up in obvious pass downs.

The CBS halftime analysts talking about the NIU game.

Something that never happens on ESPN.

They mentioned how we play a lot of one possession games and that Rocky has put passes on the money and would be completing 70% of his passes if it weren't for the dropped passes.

It’s been the problem with our run game all year. Basically feast or famine. Too many long stretches of famine

1st drive of the 2nd half - go fast

Nice to know. I am listening on the Varsity App whilst watching the muted CBS broadcast. It is not hard to synch up by pausing whichever one is ahead of the other. I just want to hear Bill Baker as much as possible in his final season.

Did anyone figure out who had to sit out the first half?

Rocky played well except for the turnover. His receivers didn’t help him at all…

I think we should be very scared of WMU. Their offense is having quite a bit of success. I'd consider them the 2nd best offense in the MAC (after Toledo's) at this time now that they've found their QB and mojo.

We have to win this game tonight because we very likely lose to WMU if we start off slow like we usually do.

If he keeps up good play - we win. Let’s find Rudolph with some running room and he runs away from their secondary
