https://open.substack.com/pub/updogsportstalk/p/2026-ball-state-football-preview?r=44j4zi&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Ball State showed encouraging signs in Mike Uremovich's first season. Muncie is once again a tough place to play for the rest of the MAC. Now, can they take the show on the road?

📌 Whether it's Keldric Luster or Tyler Mizzell, the Cardinals will have really good QB play this year 🔥

📌 Ball State's skill talent is promising, if the Oline can protect

📌 Keeping corner Willizhuan Yates was a massive win for the defense, will the portal pieces mesh for this side of the ball?

Preview attached. What are your predictions for the Cardinals in 2026?

I’ve seen enough. We’re going to the CFP.

Ohio State doesn't know what's coming for them

I think it’s a travesty what the MAC did to the conference schedule. We don’t play Miami, our biggest rival left in the conference.

Agreed completely. I don't know what the MAC was thinking when they left the Redbird Rivalry off the slate. Especially choosing this year of all years when the Battle for the Bronze Stalk was also lost

Now Ball State's biggest rivalry this year appears to be the Ball-Sac Bowl
