Three Things to Know:
1. Toledo has won four straight against Ball State and seven of the last nine meetings overall. The Cardinals averaged just 17.2 points in their last four meetings against Toledo.
2. Linebackers Jaylin Thomas and Christian Albright are continuing to make plays for the defense. Thomas has led the team in tackles for three consecutive weeks which included a personal-high 10 stops three weeks ago at CMU. Albright notched his first interception of the season last week at Ohio which set up a Cardinals touchdown.
3. Junior WR Riley Miller has recorded a touchdown reception in four of the last five games. Miller ranks third in the league in receptions per game (5.1) and sixth in receiving yards per game (68.0). His touchdown catch at Ohio on Oct. 25 was the No. 5 play on ESPN SportsCenter's 'Top-10 Plays' the next morning.
By the Numbers:
3 – Senior K Morgan Hagee is just three PATs shy of the school record held by Ian McGarvey (122).
25 – After being held to a season-low one reception on Sept. 29 against Kent State, sophomore WR Justin Hall has tallied a team-high 25 receptions for 208 yards over the last four games. Hall ranks second in the MAC in receptions per game (5.2).
70.6 – Ball State went 1-for-1 on fourth downs last week at Ohio thanks to a Drew Plitt five-yard run and leads the MAC in fourth down conversions (70.6 percent). The Cardinals have converted a fourth down in six of nine games.
