I'll go out on a limb and say BSU wins this one going away and rescues the MAC from no-win bowl season.

I have no idea what Ball St. was doing on its last TD drive. They could've come close to running out the clock before they scored.  Follow Ohio Football recruiting on the BobcatAttack.com football recruiting database.

Ball surrendered at least 20 yards field position with that. However, I don't believe we played Ball State this season as you indicated.

You are right; that three game stretch of Beefs, BG and KSU is just a blur in my mind.  I guess I've morphed it with the Ball State loss the previous year during a similar November swoon in which it was BG, BSU and KSU. Now, let's hope we don't have a November like this next year and I won't have three similar spans of blowout losses that I'll want to forget the details of and assign to the trash bin of Novembers not to remember well.   Last Edited: 1/6/2014 7:50:20 PM by OhioCatFan The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."
