It was a tale of two halves for the Old Dominion football team where they played at their best, on the brink of a remarkable upset, and also at their worst, losing their 17-point advantage in the fourth quarter. In a game where two touchdowns favored the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, they overcame adversity and escaped Norfolk with a 27-24 victory over the Monarchs.
Coming into Saturday, Old Dominion was 1-1 (1-0 Sun Belt) after an impressive offensive performance in their victory last weekend against Louisiana. Wake Forest strolled into S.B. Ballard with a 2-0 record after scoring decisive victories over Elon and Vanderbilt.
