NORFOLK (WAVY) – Trailing 35-7 at halftime, Old Dominion nearly mounted a spectacular comeback against visiting Buffalo at SB Ballard Stadium on Saturday night. The Bulls survived 35-34 following a missed extra point by Nick Rice that would have sent the game into overtime with :19 seconds remaining.
The Monarchs’ defense did not allow a Buffalo score in the second half, while D.J. Mack led a furious rally, rushing for two scores in the third quarter. Mack found tight end Zack Kuntz in the corner of the endzone on fourth-and-11 with :19 seconds left, which put ODU within one point of tying the contest.
