NCAA Football News :: MAC Title Result : Buffalo Bulls 42-24 Ball State Cardinals

Posted on 2008-12-05 by Gooner

Buffalo pounced on Ball State turnovers to win it's first ever MAC title and end the Cardinals perfect season.

The 12th-ranked Ball State Cardinals coughed it up four times and Buffalo scored off each turnover, routing the previously unbeaten team 42-24 Friday night in the Mid-American Conference championship game.

Ball State (12-1) finished the regular season undefeated for the first time since 1949, but entered the game without much of a shot to bust into the Bowl Championship Series because it trailed Utah in the standings.

The Bulls returned fumbles 92 and 74 yards on consecutive drives late in the third quarter to take a 28-17 lead.

Buffalo (8-5) won its first MAC title, capping the program's first bowl-eligible season since joining college football's top tier of teams in 1999.
