It will take an absolutely miraculous finish from Old Dominion for the Monarchs to qualify for a bowl bid. They are 2-6 and must win their last four to go to postseason play.
But even if the road to a bowl game remains long and marked with pitfalls, ODU pulled off a miracle Saturday night in Bowling Green, Ky., that will give the Monarchs a huge boost of momentum as they prepare for this week’s homecoming game against Middle Tennessee.
Western Kentucky appeared to have won the game with an 80-yard touchdown drive capped off by a Gino Appleberry run with 1:37 to play that gave the Hilltppers a 34-27 lead.
