Three Things to Know:
1. Ball State wraps up its non-conference schedule Saturday against WKU out of Conference USA. The Hilltoppers won the 2016 C-USA crown and have played in a bowl game four straight years. Ball State is 4-0 in home non-conference games under head coach Mike Neu.
2. QB Riley Neal became the fourth Cardinal to reach 6,000 career passing yards last week at Indiana. He needs 242 yards to pass head coach Mike Neu on Ball State's all-time passing list.
3. Ball State defensive coordinator David Elson worked at WKU for 14 years culminating as WKU's head coach from 2003-09.

He also guided WKU through the transition to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level.
