Alumnus scores first NFL sack for Cowboys

Former Ball State football player Justin Beriault made his prime time debut on Monday Night Football this week when the Dallas Cowboys faced the Seattle Seahawks. - NFL Football -
Beriault scored his first NFL sack, a late pass deflection and, with linebacker Eric Obogu, pressured Seattle backup QB David Greene into running behind the end line for a safety.
Beriault has been fighting a knee injury in preseason but is currently listed as backup strong safety to Roy Williams. Beriault still may be in competition for the starting free safety job.
Despite his strong performance, Bill Parcells didn’t have praise for the rookie. - NFL Football -
“He did a couple of knucklehead things,” Parcells said in a press conference after the game.
One of Beriault’s teammates, inside linebacker Dat Nguyen, did have praise for him.
“He gave himself an opportunity,” Nguyen told the San Antonio Express-News. “From day one, he’s made a lot of plays. He’s got a nose for the ball.” - NFL Football -
Beriault was mentioned by Al Michaels and John Madden during the broadcast and was compared favorably to Bill Bates by the duo.
