Well, this was not the debut we were hoping for. I have not seen the game and probably will not see any of it until Monday. From the stats, what stood out was the ability of Ball State to run the ball so well with a bunch of guys who had never carried the ball in college. Edward Wright-Baker seemed to have been reasonably edge tube in the first half. We all knew this could be a long season in the Big Ten, but I did not expect to lose this one. More later. Meanwhile, any input from those who made the trip to downtown Indy or who watched online would be appreciated. Negatives other that those I listed? Positives...other than lulling Virginia into a false sense of security?
