Football Continues to Roll

The Ball State Football team is 6-0, for the first time since 1965. On Sunday the team broke into the AP top 25 for the first time in the programs 84 year history. As a result our show was focused around the football team and I for my package I focused on star running back Miqual Lewis. While the story turned out well, the production of the piece was not very good. We had issues with the wind and it ruined the audio for the package. Taking  away from the story of Miqual Lewis who has already overcome three injuries in four years of playing football in high school and college. It is very discouraging when something takes away from the story that is production based, but through immersion the group has been able to make mistakes and learn from the mistakes that we have made. The interviews went very well and after asking about the ranking, most players and even head coach Brady Hoke down played its significance.  The team is staying motivated because of Dante Love one of the seniors on this year’s team who went down with a season ending spinal injury against Indiana.
