Offense boosts Ball State to 2-0 start

[Harry]

An hour after Saturday’s win over Army, Ball State football head coach Pete Lembo talked to the media about his quarterback, Keith Wenning.

“He’s decreasing some of the bad plays,” Lembo said. “Here we are through two games. ... No interceptions yet. That’s-”

Just then, Lembo was interrupted by a loud knocking.

Two seats over, Wenning had a small smirk on his face as he had rapped his knuckles on the wooden table on front of him.

Wenning has a reason to smirk. For the first time since the 2008 season, Ball State is undefeated through its first two games.

The offense has rolled on all cylinders since halftime of the Aug. 29 game against Illinois State.

In the last six quarters, Ball State has outscored its opponents 75-21. Expanded to the last two games, Ball State has outscored its opponents 91-42.

In the entire 2013 season, Wenning has thrown for 665 yards and five touchdowns, without throwing a single interception.

“He’s not full of himself,” Lembo said of Wenning after Saturday’s win over Army. “He doesn’t have a big ego. He takes criticism very well. He’ll be hard on himself — in a good way — about the things he didn’t do well [saturday]. Obviously, he did a lot of very good things [saturday].”
