Three Things to Know:
1. The 2016 senior class, featuring 23 players, will be honored before Tuesday's game against Eastern Michigan. This year's senior class has helped the Cardinals tally 22 victories over the past four years and earn a spot in the 2013 GoDaddy Bowl.
2. The Cardinals have won 10 of the last 11 meetings against Eastern Michigan. In last year's meeting in Ypsilanti, senior LB Sean Wiggins recorded his first career sack and came away with two late interceptions to help Ball State hold on to a 28-17 victory.
3. Both teams are fighting to reach bowl eligibility. Eastern Michigan needs one more win to be bowl eligible for the first time since 1995. The Cardinals need to win two of their final three games to be bowl eligible for the first time in three years.
By the Numbers:
3 – The Cardinals have rushed for at least 250 yards in three straight games and four times overall in 2016.
9 – Nine of the projected 22 starters for Ball State are seniors and will be playing their final game at Scheumann Stadium.
101 – Ball State held EMU to 101 yards of offense in the second half of last year's 28-17 win.
