STOCK UPMiQuale LewisHe was singled out by Parrish as one of the few players that actually played well. Even with a depleted offensive line, Lewis managed 103 yards and a touchdown.
Sean BakerLast year's MAC Defensive Freshman of the Year played well again Thursday. He made 10 tackles and had a key interception. He's probably played better games before, but he stood out on defense.
NO CHANGEKelly PageProbably down for all those who expected him to be the savior of this year. But as coach Stan Parrish pointed out, he is making the toughest step up in program history. He's not Nate Davis, but he showed flashes of the kind of quarterback he could be for the Cardinals.
Ball State studentsThe last time the Cardinals played at Scheumann Stadium, 12,000 students showed up, setting a school record. Opening night's attendance on the east side of the stadium was more than 8,500. It was another fine performance from the Cardinals' faithful, something that Parrish wants to happen again.
STOCK DOWNStan ParrishParrish is known for his offense, which didn't succeed with all the young players. He talked up the defense during the off-season, but that didn't show up either. Still very early, but it wasn't the ideal way to start his new job.
Robert EddinsParrish said during the off-season that Eddins would be this year's breakout player. He played well, collecting 10 tackles, but wasn't able to get to the quarterback the way he was expected to.
