Dru DeShields - 212 passing yards in loss DeShields completed 15 of 27 passes for 212 yards during Wednesday's 17-13 defeat versus Ball State. He also had five rushes for eight yards.

Impact DeShields threw for his best passing yard total since Week 3 against the Cardinals, but he was unable to find the end zone in the loss. The starting quarterback has been shaky so far this season, and the Golden Flashes' 3-6 record reflects that. He'll look to start a strong finish to the season at Akron next Tuesday.

The starting quarterback threw two touchdowns for the first time in six weeks and the second time this season. He also got the Cardinals their third win in the MAC. Kelly will look for another victory against Eastern Michigan at home next Saturday.
