Chandler Harnish gained 217 all-purpose yards in Northern Illinois’ win.

Ball State 31, Central Michigan 27.

MUNCIE, IND.

Keith Wenning threw three touchdown passes, all in the second half as Ball State came back. The Cardinals (5-3, 3-1 Mid-American) trailed 20-3 early in the third quarter, but Wenning found Briggs Orsbon for a 28-yard touchdown and Aaron Mershman for a 2-yard score sandwiched around Jahwan Edwards’ 1-yard run to give Ball State a 24-20 lead. Ryan Radcliff, who threw three TD passes for Central Michigan, hit Cody Wilson for a 10-yard score to put the Chippewas (2-6, 1-3) ahead 27-24 with 11:45 remaining. But it took just six plays for the Cardinals to score again, this time on Wenning’s 34-yard pass to Jamill Smith with 9:41 to go.
