Norfolk, Va.
Old Dominion’s football team is in uncharted territory. Never have the Monarchs lost seven in a row, nor have they been eliminated from postseason play with four games left.
ODU fell to 1-7 after being shredded by Florida Atlantic, 41-3, Saturday night at S.B. Ballard Stadium. It was the second home game in a row that ODU, once an offensive juggernaut, failed to score a touchdown.
And consider that ODU would be 0-8 had the Monarchs not rallied to defeat Norfolk State, 24-21, in the final minutes in their season opener.
NSU, mind you, isn’t a great team – the Spartans are 2-6, including a 2-4 record against FCS opponents.
