Eric Williams tallied the first 100-yard rushing game of his career vs. SEMO in the 2010 season opener.
MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State football program opened its 86th season Thursday night in strong fashion as the Cardinals downed Southeast Missouri State 27-10 at Scheumann Stadium in front of 10,753 fans. Ball State outscored the Redhawks 20-3 in the second half, including 17 unanswered points in the third quarter to open the season with a victory.
"Tonight was just what we needed," second-year head coach Stan Parrish says. "I am not sure if last year at half we could have mustered that second half performance. It was a game everyone thought we were going to win. Our student body was great tonight. Not only were they here but they were into the game from the start. We hope the students come back out and support us against Liberty."

Sure, we came out flat to start the game against St.Francis, but I don't anticipate the same kind of start this week. The Flames will have a lot more motivation playing against an FBS opponent.don't count out SBU... they honestly look good this year...
Don't we need to win this and/or the JMU game to get some respect? Those are the only two quality opponents we have on the schedule this year and I think we need to make the most of it.

We really need to go 2-1 in these next 3 games.Beating both of them would still only give us "some" respect on CS. You've got to win the National Champ. a couple times and have half the team save a elderly person from a burning building to get a lot of respect over there haha

St. Francis was rated 237 out of 248 D1 teams (both 1a and 1aa.). With that said, SEMO was like 211. It's going to be a battle to pull it out. It's essentially like playing a MAC conference game. We already saw Nova nearly knock off the best team in the MAC.
