If you ask head coach Ricky Rahne, the Old Dominion football team is known for its tendency “to go 1-0 every week.” The Monarchs did just that on Saturday night when they faced off against their first Sun Belt opponent of the season, the Arkansas State Red Wolves, here in Norfolk. The Monarchs came into the contest 1-2 after a heartbreaking loss to Virginia 16-14 due to a Cavalier field goal with no time remaining. Arkansas State arrived with a record of 1-2, coming off a loss to the University of Memphis.
Old Dominion won the coin toss and decided to defer their possession to the second half, so play began around 6 p.
