Sacks (Yards) 3-22 6-31 Moments later, Miami found the end zone to seal the game in the final seconds. “We’ve worked a lot of scenarios like that in practice where it’s a tight game and you have to go down and deliver, and we didn’t (tonight),” head coach Mike Neu said. “That’s what’s difficult to swallow. We didn’t get it done. I told the team afterwards, we have to own it. We can’t let that determine the rest of our season.” The final sequence in the game came after a thrilling comeback by Ball State. The Cardinals trailed 31-21 when they got an 18-yard touchdown run by Caleb Huntley with 7:06 left to make it 31-28. BSU’s defense stood strong and the Cardinals regained possession with 4:04 left in the game. Plitt moved the Cardinals down the field, setting up a clutch 47-yard field goal from Jack Knight that tied the game at 31 with 1:08 to go. Huntley and Justin Hall each scored two touchdowns for the Cardinals, who were playing for the first time in 340 days. Huntley ripped off a 45-yard score in Ball State’s first possession after halftime and had the 18-yarder in the fourth quarter. Ball State led 14-10 at halftime thanks to a pair of scores by Hall, who ran 11 yards for a touchdown early in the game and scored on a 66-yard catch-and-run from Plitt in the second quarter.
