For his part in helping the Ball State football team earn a 38-31 win over Eastern Michigan last Wednesday, senior running back Caleb Huntley has been named the Pridemark Construction Student-Athlete of the Week.
Hand it to Huntley. That was the formula Wednesday night as Ball State racked up 326 yards on the ground and 536 yards of total offense in the victory over the Eagles. Huntley finished with a career-high 204 yards on 34 carries and three touchdowns -- including the game-winning score in the final seconds -- to lift the Cardinals to a win in their home opener.
The game-winning touchdown was scored with 6 seconds left when Huntley plunged in from 1 yard out. That capped an 11-play, 72-yard drive that came to life when Ball State converted a 3rd-and-19 pass play and then ran the ball to victory. Drew Plitt found Antwan Davis for 19 yards on the pivotal play, then Huntley ran three straight times for 31 yards into the red zone. After a 10-yard scamper by Will Jones, Huntley got the last eight yards as BSU managed the clock and churned yardage to seal the win.
Huntley scored the Cardinals’ first touchdown of the game with 6:05 left in the opening quarter when he helped tie the score on a seven-yard run. With the Cardinals trailing 24-13, Huntley busted through the EMU defense for a 13-yard score with 4:34 left in the third to help Ball State gain the momentum in the game.
Ball State returns to play Wednesday, when Northern Illinois comes to Scheumann Stadium for a 7 p.m. kickoff that will be televised on ESPNews.
