WTG Monarchs Aim High!

Next Sat Georgia Southern @ Old Dominion

Congrats. The 1-AA playoffs were a blast back in the day.

Congrats!

Jesus, you guys must have started playing defense in the second half. Wasn't the score like 28-28 at one point?

The game was tied 35-35 with 18 minutes left in the game. From that point, Old Dominion outscored Coastal 28-0. Below is Monarch Nation's coverage of the game. Early reports are that next week's game against Georgia Southern are on ESPN (the actual ESPN, not a sister station) at noon. We'll confirm that when it's concrete.

Alright ODU beat the crap out of the Sunbelt wannabes

Confirmed. Saturday at Noon on ESPN/ESPN3. (3 is blacked out on the east coast but ESPN should be good everywhere).

Gonna be a basketball game!

If CUSA ever had to looking at adding another FCS team, I'd go with Georgia Southern

Be careful what you wish for. A very good triple option team in your conference division can really be a PItA. The Eagles are a great FCS program with a record six championships, but personally I wouldn't relish the thought of having to face all that dive blocking and un-called illegal motion once a season.

Yup...That triple option is a *****

Anyway, I watched your game on ESPN3...It was a very entertaining game. While your stadium is on the small side it still had a lot of energy and a big time feel to it for sure.

As far as your team goes the obvious comment would be about your QB.....He is the real deal, love his accuracy and arm strength. But what was most impressive to me was your overall team speed, you guys really stressed Coastal on both sides of the ball with your speed.

Good luck to you guys the rest of the way...I will be watching for sure as I love the FCS playoffs. Should be an interesting match-up this week for you guys. Do you play many triple option teams throughout the season...I hope so because that option is hard to prepare for in one week.

Nope, we don't. It's been a thorn for sure. We lost to GaSo last year in the 2nd round of the playoffs after both teams put up over 100 points combined. It's gonna come down to whoever has the ball last and/or whoever slips first

I bet Bobby's been having them practice against the triple option at least a bit this year though. Other teams know that we usually don't defend well against it, I even saw Coastal playing some option plays at the end of the game. Have to be prepared just in case they try to break it out.

Congrats. Very cool.
Do you guys have a good shot at this?

We lost to GA Southern 55-48 on the road last year. First team to punt will lose.

Thanks for the kind words. Regarding our stadium, a team of architects spent 10 hours on campus Sat. studying every aspect of our game day experience including traffic flow, tailgating, parking, etc. From listening to our AD following the game it sounds like the plan seems to be to build a 35K stadium that would be expandable to 50K. The plans should be announced this coming July.

As far as the TO, I believe it was particularly stressed in training camp with the assumption that we would have to meet one of the dinosaur offenses on the way to Frisco, TX.

ODU will see the real deal triple option this Saturday. Southern QB this year is a threat to take it to the house where as last years QB was not. It should be a very good game.
