GT is still without Alverado and maybe 4-4 but they've played the #30 schedule with losses to Georgia, Arkansas, Syracuse, and Kentucky. Ball St has played two true road games and both were in the first 15 days of November (lost at Evansville and beat Ill Chicago). The Cardinals are 5-4 but have played the #329 schedule! Ball St has put up 100 points twice in their last 4 games but those performances came against Howard and IUPUI which have D's of #353 & 305.

GT also adds USC transfer, Jordan Usher, as this is his first game eligible (he transferred last Jan and has practiced with team) while also playing off B2B losses and a previous home loss!
