NORFOLK (WAVY) – It seems like Bobby Wilder has been handed nothing but bad news regarding injuries this season. Old Dominion lost its top running back after a season-opening win against Albany, then lost its top receiver for the season after a win at Massachusetts, and had to play at Virginia Tech and home against Florida Atlantic without its top two defensive ends, Daniel Appouh and Bunmi Rotimi.
Finally, the head man has some potentially uplifting news to give. At his weekly press conference on Monday, Wilder says he’s “hoping” to have both Appouh and Rotimi back for their next game at Marshall, and may very well have one of their best offensive weapons back in uniform.
