Pierce added a third game to a record he set last week, when he became the first freshman in school history to rush for 100 yards in two straight games.

The Owls led 10-0 after a 27-yard field goal from Brandon McManus and a 28-yard touchdown pass from Vaughn Charlton to James Nixon. Ball State's.

Dan Ifft caught a two-yard pass as time expired, for Ball State's final score.
