BSU quarterback Drew Plitt threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns, engineering a pair of scoring drives in the second half. But Indiana kicker Logan Justus went 4-for-4 on field goal attempts, including a 50-yarder with 2:15 to play, and the Hoosiers (1-0) sealed it with an interception of Plitt in the final minute. Ball State struggled to get pressure on Indiana quarterback Michael Penix Jr. who threw for 326 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The dual-threat signal caller also led the Hoosiers with 67 yards on the ground. BSU intercepted Penix twice, with first-half takeaways from Amechi Uzodinma II and Antonio Phillips. But Penix also hit on a 75-yard touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook and consistently moved the Hoosiers offense. Yo’Heinz Tyler finished with a team-high 71 receiving yards. Bryce Cosby, Jacob White and Ray Wilborn – playing his first game at safety after moving from linebacker – led Ball State with nine tackles.

Largest Comebacks in School History 27 pts. BSU 31, Toledo 30 Oct. 9, 1993 at BSU -- BSU was behind 30-3 In Ball State’s 1993 Homecoming game vs. Toledo, the Cardinals fell behind 16-3 at the half, and Toledo scored two third-quarter touchdowns to take a 30-3 lead with 4:10 remaining in the third stanza. Ball State’s rally began with 2:24 left in the third quarter on a 22-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Mike Neu to receiver Brian Oliver. A Tony Nibbs’ two-point conversion run made the score 30-11 and that was all the scoring in the third stanza. BSU started its fourth-quarter scoring with a Neu to Oliver 98-yard TD pass with 11:02 left in the game. The Matt Swart extra point kick was good and closed the gap to 30-18. With 2:40 left in the contest, Neu completed a 15-yard scoring strike to receiver Kyle Robinson. Followed by Swart’s extra point kick, the Cardinals were down 30-24. Ball State’s final score came on a Neu to Erin McCray 6-yard pass as time expired in the game. Swart’s extra point kick with no time left on the clock gave the Cardinals a 31-30 win. 22 pts.
