Now, he may have an opportunity to see consistent playing time with Ball State. Luster has attempted just 12 passes across three college seasons, and he's accumulated 76 rushing yards during that time.

Eric Weatherly - First touchdown of season in loss Weatherly recorded three receptions (on five targets) for 54 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-24 defeat to Miami (OH).
Impact Weatherly logged his best game of the season in the loss to the RedHawks, which was aided mostly by a 35-yard touchdown pass in garbage time. The redshirt junior pass catcher was primed for a big season this spring, but he ended the year with a 29-238-1 receiving line. He'll have one year of eligibility remaining to use with the Cardinals next season.

Qua Ashley - Salvages game with receiving score Ashley logged 11 carries for 22 yards and hauled in his only target for two yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-24 defeat to Miami (OH).
Impact Ashley was shut down on the ground in the loss to the RedHawks, but he was able to salvage an otherwise measly performance with a receiving touchdown in the fourth quarter. The 5-foot-10 running back will close out his redshirt junior campaign with 118 rushing attempts for 547 yards and four touchdowns, along with 21 receptions for 107 yards and two scores. He'll now have one year of eligibility remaining, and likely not much competition for the Cardinals' RB1 spot once again in the 2026 campaign.

Kiael Kelly - Two late touchdowns in loss Kelly completed 14 of 23 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 45-24 loss versus Miami (OH). He also had 16 rushes for 61 yards.
Impact Kelly's final stat line looks promising, but both of his touchdowns came in the second half when the game was already out of the Cardinals' hands. The 6-foot-2 quarterback will close out his redshirt senior season with career-high passing numbers, completing 153 of 272 passes for 1,560 yards, 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also tacked on 211 rushes for 608 yards and five touchdowns. He looks to have now used up all of his collegiate eligibility.

Qua Ashley - Set to play in season finale Ashley (undisclosed) will be available for Saturday's season finale against Miami (Ohio), per the MAC availability report.
Impact Ashley has missed the last pair of contests for the Cardinals, but it appears he's recovered enough from whatever sidelined him to retake the field for the final contest of the 2025 season. Ashley enters the day with 107 carries for 525 yards and four rushing scores under his belt, adding 20 grabs for 105 yards and a score as a receiver, and he'll aim to add to that total before the season concludes.

Miami (OH) vs. Ball State Prediction, Odds, Picks - November 29, 2025
Kiael Kelly - Two interceptions in blowout loss Kelly was 13-for-30 passing for 166 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 38-9 loss versus Toledo. He also had 18 rushes for 10 yards.
Impact Kelly recorded another horrendous game in the loss to the Rockets. The starting quarterback tossed out two picks for the second time this season, and he also lost a fumble. He's now thrown for just 228 yards, zero touchdowns and three interceptions in his last two games. He'll aim to finish out his final season strong at Miami-Ohio next Saturday.

Qua Ashley - Ruled out Saturday Ashley (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at Toledo.
Impact Ashley, who was reportedly planning to return to the field Saturday, has surprisingly been ruled out for the contest. It will be the second straight game he's missed. TJ Horton is set to lead the Cardinals' backfield in Ashley's absence.

Qua Ashley - Planning to return vs. Toledo Ashley (undisclosed) should be back against Toledo on Saturday, per Cade Hampton of The Star Press.
Impact Ashley is planning on retuning against the Rockets after missing Week 12 against Eastern Michigan. The starting tailback has 525 rushing yards and four touchdowns this season, and his probable return likely means less carries for TJ Horton.
NOVEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kiael Kelly - Struggles revamp against Eagles Kelly completed 13 of 22 passes for 62 yards and one interception during Saturday's 24-9 loss versus Eastern Michigan. He also had 15 rushes for 67 yards.
Impact Kelly couldn't get the Cardinals' passing game rolling against the Eagles, with his worst passing yardage total of the season. The 6-foot-2 quarterback has now logged four games this season with less than 100 yards, and he's surpassed 200 just once. While he's salvaged some games with his rushing skills, most have been overshadowed by his passing struggles. He'll aim to bounce back at Toledo this upcoming Saturday.

Qua Ashley - Out vs. Eastern Michigan Ashley (undisclosed) won't be available against Eastern Michigan on Saturday.
Impact Ashley was taken to the locker room against Kent State in Week 11 after rushing for 12 yards on six carries. It remains unclear what the tailback is dealing with, but he'll be a big loss for Ball State as he's run for 525 yards and four touchdowns on 107 carries, with 20 grabs for 105 yards and a score as well.
