Prediction -- The Zips' offense will be downright unstoppable. Andrew Johnson will put on a show in his debut at the Rubber Bowl. Problem is, Ball State will move the ball at an equal pace. Davis will throw a couple interceptions that make up the margin between the teams.

Ball State prediction
Football
It's been pouring rain the past 24 hours, and relief does not appear to be in sight.

Normally, it is a detriment to the offense that relies heavier on passing, which would be Ball State. However, Cardinals quarterback Nate Davis wears a glove on his throwing hand, so maybe it won't affect him.

News and notes...
The Muncie Star Press mentions that Ball State is 9-2 in the past two years in MAC road games. However, it has lost its last two MAC openers. The publication predicts a 40-24 Cardinals win.
The Indianapolis Star said this game might determine the MAC's best quarterback. (Uhh. Dan LeFevour and about six other guys probably have a better argument for that than Chris Jacquemain.)
The ABJ's Michael Beaven talked to Chris Kemme about how the game will turn out.
