IU v Ball State

It was back to sunny skies and a win a quite convincing fashion  as the Hoosiers pulled away from Ball State 38-10 to finish the non-conference portion of the season 3-0.  J-Shun Harris’ 86-yard return was arguably the catalyst for a blowout. Harris (bark from his third ACL tear) also had another long return called back, while Haydon Whitehead’s punting was customarily reliable and Logan Justus hit all of his kicks.
