Ball State

The key play in Ball State’s final series was an 18-yard pass from Keith Wenning to Willie Snead for a first down at the Indiana 25. Snead made a diving catch as he was going out of bounds. After a review by the replay booth, the catch was deemed good, Schott had his opportunity. From the Indiana 24 with :01 left, a 42-yard field goal was good and Ball State beat Indiana 41-39.

IU continues to be defenseless. No pressure on QB, couldn't get Ball State off field on 3^rd down when it counted. 558 total yards were negated by twelve penalties for 127 yards.
