His accuracy and poise in the pocket kept the Eagles on their heels, and the Monarchs’ offense looked nearly unstoppable.
Despite a solid start from Georgia Southern, who were hoping to bounce back after a tough loss, they struggled to keep up with Old Dominion’s pace. The Eagles’ defense was unable to stop the Monarchs’ rushing attack, with running back breaking through for a series of long runs that wore down Georgia Southern’s front seven.
The game quickly became a high-scoring affair as Old Dominion extended their lead. With each touchdown, the Monarchs' defense stepped up, preventing any sustained drives from the Eagles. Georgia Southern’s offense, led by quarterback J.C. French, was unable to gain traction, with several of their drives stalling before they could threaten the scoreboard.
Old Dominion’s defense also contributed to the blowout, forcing turnovers at critical moments and putting the Georgia Southern offense in uncomfortable situations. The Eagles did manage to score two touchdowns, but by that time, Old Dominion had built an insurmountable lead.
The Monarchs’ special teams also played a crucial role, with a well-executed return setting up one of their touchdowns, keeping Georgia Southern on the back foot for the duration of the game.
In the end, Old Dominion’s all-around performance proved too much for Georgia Southern to overcome. With this dominant victory, Old Dominion improves their standing in the conference, while Georgia Southern will need to regroup and refocus as they look ahead to their next matchup.
