@dn_sports Echoles Jr. comes up with another sack, and Auburn is forced to punt. Ball State will take over on its own 27-yard line with 7 minutes left in the game. @dn_sports

@dn_sports END OF THE THIRD QUARTER. Ball State trails Auburn 28-3. The Cardinals were able to get onto the scoreboard with a field goal, but have yet to reach the end zone in 2025. @dn_sports

@dn_sports For the first time in 2025, Ball State is on the scoreboard. The 22-yard kick is good from Carson Holmer, and it is a 28-3 ballgame. @dn_sports

@dn_sports Now he is back out. Kelly returns. The Cardinals used Taylor to run, which was snuffed out easily. @dn_sports

@dn_sports Walter Taylor is in at QB for the Cardinals. @dn_sports

@dn_sports The ruling of an incomplete pass was overturned, and Ball State forced its first turnover of the season. Joey Stemler came up with the ball, and the Cardinals now have the ball on the Tigers' 22. @dn_sports

@dn_sports Ball State goes three-and-out for the sixth time this game and is forced to punt. The Ball State offense has been nonexistent in the third quarter, as they only have six yards with 5:50 left in the quarter. Auburn ball on their own 20. @dn_sports

@dn_sports Cobb takes a rush for 45 yards to make it a 28-0 game after the PAT. The Cardinals' secondary really has no answers for the Auburn passing game. 7:32 left in the third quarter. @dn_sports

@dn_sports Ball State goes three-and-out and is forced to punt. The Cardinals had two plays go for a loss of yards on the drive, and were just five yards short of converting the third down. A delay of the game backed them up farther; now the Tigers will start on their 21. @dn_sports
