BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Ball State's football team managed a resounding 42-20 victory over in-state rival Indiana University at Memorial Stadium Saturday.
"This was a good win for us, but all of our thoughts and prayers right now are with Dante Love," Ball State head coach Brady Hoke said. "Our kids played very hard in the face of adversity, and we are proud to get the win over a Big Ten team. I have a great amount of respect for Coach Lynch and his team was well prepared. Things went our way and we won the game."
Senior wide receiver Dante Love suffered an injury during the first half of Saturday's game and was transported to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.
Junior running back MiQuale Lewis put the Cardinals up 42-20 with back-to-back touchdowns at the 6:09 mark in the fourth quarter and with 4:18 left in the game.
With the touchdowns Lewis set his career high of four rushing touchdowns in a game and this marks his second straight multiple touchdown game. The four touchdowns ties the Ball State single-game school record.
Ball State’s defense stopped the Hoosiers from scoring the entire second half, and held the Hoosiers to just two field goals in the first quarter while Ball State’s Lewis scored two touchdowns.
