Old Dominion Monarchs 

The Monarchs’ season began with a matchup versus Virginia Tech and an eventual loss 36-17. Old Dominion was able to get their first win of the year 38-31 over Louisiana the next week, then fell to Wake Forest 27-24 in a tough defeat. Game four was a low-scoring affair versus Texas A&M-Commerce and a one-point win 10-9. 

In the Marshall game back on Saturday, Old Dominion scored in every quarter (and gave up points in every quarter as well) during a back-and-forth 41-35 loss. QB Jack Shields had just 95 yards, one TD and three picks. Kadarius Calloway posted 236 yards and three scores off 11 carries to pace the offense, though.

Southern Miss Golden Eagles 

Over on the Southern Miss side, they stormed out of the box in game one this year with a blowout win 40-14 versus Alcorn State. The Eagles dropped the next three games, though: 66-13 to Florida State, 21-3 to Tulane and 44-37 versus Arkansas State. In the loss to the Red Wolves, Southern Miss QB Billy Wiles finished with 215 yards, two scores and two picks. 

In Saturday’s matchup against Texas State, the Golden Eagles were drilled 42-10 in the first half. Southern Miss scored some cosmetic points in the second but still lost 50-36. Wiles finished with 275 yards, two scores and an interception. Frank Gore Jr. led the rushing attack on 123 yards and two touchdowns off 24 carries.

Matchup/League Facts

Southern Miss ranked 34th among FBS teams for Q1 points allowed per game last season (4.5).
Southern Miss ranked T35th among FBS teams for H1 points allowed per game last season (11.0).
Old Dominion ranked T40th among FBS teams for Q4 points allowed per game last season (5.9).
Old Dominion scored fewer than 5 points in two home games last season – most of any FBS team.

ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I might go with Southern Miss here. Probably not touching it, though. The Eagles were demolished in the first half versus a good Texas State team in their last outing. That said, the offensive attack ended up pretty well-rounded with 510 total yards (275 passing), 5.6 yards per play and 30 first downs. Southern Miss has scored 73 combined points over their last two games, but they’ve also given up 94 on the other side in that pair. 

As for Old Dominion, they got nothing from the passing game (95 yards) versus Marshall. The rush was working great (339 yards) but with the nine penalties, three interceptions and 3-of-13 on third-down tries the Monarchs really had no chance. This weekend’s matchup is something of a coin flip so I’m staying away.
