UB @ Ball St, Must win?

by Steve

In case you haven't noticed Jeff Quinn, UB's football coach, is a meager 3-11. The Bulls went 1-7 in the MAC last year after Turner Gill left for greener pastures in Kansas. At some point Quinn and his spread offense have to start winning against someone other than Bowling Green and the little Sisters of the Poor. What better time to start than at 2008 rival Ball State.

No one really knows if this game even exists since at 7pm when I turn my TV on to watch it I won't find it. But I think it airs on the radio on some adult contemporary AM station (WECK 1230?). My prediction is take the Cardinals -4.5.

JQ has no excuse. He brought in his boy Chazz Anderson the super senior to run the show. He has a potential solid running back emerging in Branden Oliver. Oliver is averaging 120 yards per game in this young season and may be taking that next step. On defense UB has two of the best linebackers in the conference in Steven Means and Khalil Mack. So there is some talent on this squad.

I have no idea where Ball St is, (indy? i don't feel like looking it up) and UB's abysmal play last season has created indifference to the program. With an interesting game next week (Uconn coming into UB Stadium) UB needs a good showing tonight to try and fill that ugly stadium. Time to win Quinn.
