The Monarchs entered their matchup against Western Kentucky with a chance to make a statement that they belong in the conversation to win Conference USA. With two weeks to prepare I thought they were ready to prove their record wasn’t a product of a soft schedule.
I was wrong. Old Dominion wasn’t ready. Not even close.
WKU scored the game’s first 35 points. Their first four possessions resulted in a touchdown. At halftime WKU led 52-14. Ballgame.The Hilltoppers finished with 624 total yards of offense.
Old Dominion has made strides on offense this season but if they were going to win this game their offense had to show up and they simply didn’t.
