Love 'upbeat' in recovery from spinal injury, might be released this week
MUNCIE, Ind. -- Ball State receiver Dante Love, recovering from a career-ending spinal injury, might be released from a rehabilitation center this week.
Love took a head-on hit during the Cardinals' 42-20 win against Indiana on Sept. 20, and he underwent surgery a day after the game.
"I want everyone to know that Dante is improving daily," coach Brady Hoke said Monday. "He is really making great strides. ... He is doing a great job with his recovery. He is positive and upbeat."
No. 25 Ball State (6-0), which this week was ranked for the first time in school history in The Associated Press Top 25, plays at Western Kentucky (2-4) on Saturday night. The Cardinals are off to their best start since going 9-0 to begin the 1965 season.
