Cardinals, Huskies will kick at 7 p.m. in the Battle for the Bronze Stalk

MUNCIE, Ind. -- Television coverage of Ball State's upcoming football game Wednesday, Nov. 18 versus Northern Illinois has been moved to ESPNews because of contractual issues surrounding the ESPN family of networks' NBA Draft coverage.

The game, originally scheduled to air on ESPNU, will still kick off at 7 p.m. from Scheumann Stadium and will still also be available on the WatchESPN App. As always, the action can be heard via the Ball State Radio Network on 104.1 WLBC.

Ball State and Northern Illinois will battle for the Bronze Stalk in their annual rivalry game. The Cardinals reclaimed the trophy last season with a 27-20 victory in DeKalb, Illinois.

BSU enters this week's matchup at 1-1 with both of its games having been decided in the final minute. The Cardinals are coming off a 38-31 victory over Eastern Michigan, clinched by Caleb Huntley's third touchdown of the night with 6 seconds left.

Northern Illinois is 0-2 after suffering a 40-10 defeat this week to Central Michigan.
