I would be interested from folks who are better versed in the beef than I. We went into this week thinking that Ball State had one of the worst defenses in BCS and coming off of two competitive-to-dominant performances against top tier SEC defenses. The conventional wisdom here was that we should be able to run the ball down their throats, which did not happen. Did the big boys lack juice or was Ball State doing something novel to complicate things? To my layman's perspective, it seemed like Ball State was able to shed and evade blocks better than we've seen opponents in the last two weeks.
