GAMEDAY!: Ball State vs. Indiana

I just want to say that I just turned it to the Purdue-Central Michigan game and they have a cheerleader that's, well, plump. And CMU just took the lead with 1:13 only to have Purdue come right back and score at touchdown.

But let's get to the main thing here, and that's Indiana vs. Ball State. All of the storylines have been played out, and then some. Who can stop Nate Davis? Who can stop Kellen Lewis? Why did the other two Ball State sports blogs say that Marcus Thigpen was IU's key player and not Lewis? Can Ball State finally beat a BCS school? Is this the Ball State defense's coming-out party? All things will be answered tonight.

Here are your GAMEDAY! stories.
