The Old Dominion Monarchs (7-3, 5-1 C-USA) took on the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles (5-5, 3-3 C-USA) in a crucial conference game. With a 51-35 win, the Monarchs extended their home winning streak and kept their conference championship hopes alive. On the opening kickoff, ODU wide receiver Zach Pascal returned it 53-yards. Although the Monarchs failed to create points from the big play, they never lost momentum.
On the Golden Eagles’ first drive of the game they fumbled, and linebacker TJ Ricks picked it up and returned to the Southern Miss five-yard line.
