The prognosticators didn’t give the Ball State Cardinals a chance, and the Cardinals defense did nothing to disprove them. In the second annual International Bowl which pits a MAC team vs. a Big East opponent, the MAC has fallen to 0-2 as Ball State’s defense could not stop Ray Rice and Rutgers today. Rutgers 52-30 win was led by Ray Rice’s 280 rushing yards and Mike Teel’s 303 passing yards.
