The Mid American Conference title will be on the line tonight at Ford Field when the Ball State Cardinals face the Buffalo Bulls. The 5-0 Bulls have not just beaten their opponents this year, they have annihilated them. Buffalo has outscored their foes, 259 to 105, and have a rushing attack that is just relentless. The Bulls are averaging 344.2 rushing yards per game and have a running back, Jaret Patterson, who has been giving defensive coordinators fits. Over his 5 games, Patterson has rushed for 1,025 yards with 18 TDs and had 8 of those in one game against a really good Kent State team. Impressive. The 5-1 Cardinals will have to put up a lot of points if they want to hang in there with the Bulls but that will be tough to do without their best running back, Caleb Huntley, who for undisclosed reasons will not be in tonight’s game.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO BULLS -13
