NORFOLK, Va. — App State followed a pair of fourth-quarter stands with two touchdowns to keep its comeback hopes going, but Old Dominion recovered a late onside kick to close out a 24-21 home win Saturday.
AJ Swann directed two fourth-quarter drives and threw two touchdown passes, leading possessions that followed a Zyeir Gamble interception near the end zone and a missed 39-yard field goal from the Monarchs. Kanen Hamlett scored on a 35-yard touchdown reception after the takeaway, and Davion Dozier hauled in a 34-yard touchdown pass with 1:35 remaining, but the Mountaineers (4-4, 1-3 Sun Belt) had only one timeout left when ODU (5-3, 2-2) recovered the onside kick.
