Latest Preview (Week Recent)

Dominant rushing attack

Devin Roche (137 yards, 2 TDs) and Colton Joseph (108 yards, 1 TD) combined for 245 rushing yards, powering a comeback from a 10-0 deficit. This ground game will be a key strength in their bowl matchup.

Resilient comeback win

After trailing 10-0 in the second quarter, Old Dominion scored 27 unanswered points, showcasing mental toughness and ability to adjust. This momentum could carry into the bowl game.

Bowl game experience

The Monarchs will play in a bowl for the third time under coach Ricky Rahne, with their last appearance being a 38-35 OT loss to Western Kentucky in the 2023 Famous Toastery Bowl. This experience may help them prepare for the postseason.

Passing game efficiency needed

Colton Joseph completed only 9 of 22 passes for 106 yards, indicating room for improvement in the passing attack. Opponents may focus on stopping the run, so better passing efficiency will be crucial in the bowl game.

Strong defensive response

After allowing an early 10-0 lead, the defense shut out Georgia State for the remainder of the game, forcing punts and limiting big plays. This defensive resilience will be vital against a bowl opponent.
