Fordham (0-1) at Ball State (0-1)
Fordham lost to Central Connecticut 23-26 in week 1. My prediction: Ball State 45 - Fordham17

I say 41-17. I think FL atlantic game will be much more indicative of if/if not the team has improved from 2018 than this one. One of the lone positives in the Neu era to date is they havent yet laid an egg vs a FCS team. Granted that isn't worth a ton.

This is a MUST win if they are aiming at five or six victories.

We need to show we can dominate and play with force. We should win easily, right?
Fau game will be a bitch. We are looking at 1-3 going into conference play.

I haven't heard anything about injuries. Did we come out of the IU game with anything more significant than bumps and bruises?

The IU game was I am afraid like ND last year our best effort. I think the key to the MAC season is how injured we come out of the non conference season. Last season I think the ND game took so much out of us we had little left against both IU & WKY. BSU 42 Fordham 13.

If we go 1-3, get our daubers down going into Northern Illinois, do our normal late season swoon where we give up 50+/game...... 4 or 5 is a real stretch.

Last season I think the ND game took so much out of us we had little left against both IU & WKY. BSU 42 Fordham 13. I wouldn't think Fordham should pose much of a challenge. Injuries are one thing but if the first four games "take it out of us" to the point where we've got nothing left for MAC play, the whole staff needs to go no matter what our eventual W-L record is. That just shouldn't happen. I tend to think more along the lines of this: By MAC play opposing coaches will have four games of film on us. By that time, do we have anything left to show? Do we adjust at all? Have we shown all our tendencies and become predictable? If so, we're dead. If we can switch a few things up, keep teams guessing, may be we've got a chance.

The florida Atlantic game is huge and its not going to be easy.. Its hard to say a week three game is a must win but it kinda is. If our modest goals of 5-6 wins are going to happen we are going to need this game

If our modest goals of 5-6 wins are going to happen we are going to need this game I don't see the FAU game even being close. They will be far superior in the trenches and from a speed standpoint.

You don’t think it will even be close? I think we win the game, but at worst it will be close. FAU is not better than IU.

I just do think we will match up well with them. I hope I am wrong but think we either win a close hard fought game or they just blow us out
