#28 UB Football Game
September 17, 2011- UB 25, Ball State 28
After an opening drive where UB took a 7-0 lead from a Terrel Jackson TD pass to Marcus Rivers, UB's next 7 drives lasted 22 plays for 42 yards. This allowed Ball State's Jahwan Edwards to control the game, as he ran 10 times for 77 yards and 2 TDs in the first half to give BSU a commanding 21-7 lead.
Bulls muted in Muncie
In reality this game was not as close as the score indicated
UB regained momentum as Ball State struggled on special teams. BSU's Steven Schott missed his 2nd field goal of the game and Jaleel Verser blocked a BSU punt to give UB's offense the ball on the 26-yard line. Three plays later, Branden Oliver scored from 10-yards out to make it 21-13. On UB's 1st play of the 4th quarter, Chazz Anderson found Alex Neutz for a 45-yard TD pass. UB's 2-pt conversion failed, keeping BSU up 21-19.
After forcing a 3-and-out, UB went on an epic 14-play 86-yard drive that ended with a 1-yard Chazz Anderson plunge. Branden Oliver ran 10 times for 64 yards on the drive, but he could not put the ball in from 3-yards out on the 2-pt conversion. UB led 25-21. Important to note, UB had an extra point blocked, and failed on two 2-pt conversions. Had UB converted on their final 3 extra points, they would have led 28-21.
Needing a stop, UB forced BSU into 4th and 13, Keith Wenning converted with an 18-yard pass. With 51 seconds remaining, UB forced a 4th and 7, again Wenning converted with a 13-yard pass. With 29 seconds remaining, Ball State scored on a Wenning to Willie Snead TD pass. Ball State won 28-25. The first of two games in the 3-9 season that could have had a better outcome if UB hit their extra points.
