As it comes to NCAAF matchups this week, this is one of the better ones. I’m not sure everyone knows how Ball State and Kent State are very evenly matched statistically.
The two teams allow about the same amount of points and yards, and their points scored per game stat are separated by only .2.
However, I think that Kent State has a huge advantage when it comes to its run offense. Kent State is a run-heavy offense regardless of who is under center, and when you look at NCAA football stats, they’re currently ranked 32nd in the nation for rush yards per game, while it is Ball State’s apparent weakness as the Cardinals rank 114th in the nation in rush yards allowed per game.
While Ball State will succeed similarly with their pass attack against Kent State’s pass defense, they have yet to prove themselves consistent in point totals, scoring 44 points one week and 17 the next.
Kent State has scored over 20 points in all except one of their games, with 4-point totals of 30+, while Ball State has three games under 20 points.
