In the final 1:37 of the Old Dominion Football season, the Monarchs 6-6 (5-3 Sun Belt) performed a miraculous comeback from a 24-14 deficit. They kicked a field goal, got a safety, and scored a game-winning touchdown on the season’s final play, beating Georgia State 6-6 (3-5 Sun Belt) with a score of 25-24.
Old Dominion’s football history may have seen bigger, more important victories, but few, if any, came with the kind of grit, determination, and courage that the Monarchs displayed on Saturday night.
It was a nippy Saturday afternoon, with around 15,700 fans in attendance to celebrate Senior Day.
