Ball State Faces First FBS Opponent
The Ball State Cardinals have played just one game to start their college football season, winning it 42-34 over FCS Missouri State. That game may not have been as close as the final score indicated, as Missouri State took an early lead thanks to a pick-six in the first quarter. But no matter how that game went, it is going to be incredibly difficult for Ball State to find a way to stay competitive in this contest against a much more difficult opponent in the Miami Hurricanes.
Ball State didn't give up all 34 of the points they allowed on the defensive side of the ball, as they gave up points on offense via a pick six. But still, giving up 27 points on defense to an FCS opponent the game before going up against Cam Ward and this Miami offense is troubling. The Cardinals could be in for a long day on the defensive side of the ball here.
Miami Off to a Dream Start
The Miami Hurricanes are 2-0 going into Week 3, with wins over Florida and FCS Florida A&M under their belt. Going into this Ball State vs Miami matchup, the Hurricanes have scored 40 or more points in each of their first two games. They will be expected to put up huge numbers once again in this contest, as they take on a Ball State team that was far from convincing on defense in their first week of action.
Cam Ward has been brilliant early in the season for Miami, completing just over 75% of his passes through two games. He went into The Swamp and led his team to a blowout of Florida in a rivalry game as well, building a little early-season Heisman Trophy hype in the process. He will be expected to show out again in this game against an inferior opponent with a chance to go to 3-0 just a couple of weeks before ACC play begins.
Ball State vs Miami Best Bet
The point spread is massive in this Ball State vs Miami contest, but we are willing to lay the points with the Hurricanes in spite of that. The offense of the Canes has been operating at a high level, while the defensive issues of Ball State going into this game are concerning to say the least. Look for Miami to win this game by 40 or so points as they should continue to impress.
