Old Dominion was shut out 26-0 at Louisiana Tech last Saturday, with Washington State transfer Jaxon Potter completing 18 of 34 passes for 154 yards and an interception in his first significant playing time for the Monarchs. Old Dominion has not scored more than 21 points in its last seven games, including 10 against App State, 15 against Georgia Southern, and that shutout. The Monarchs are 2-6 and 1-3 at home, and they allowed 44 to Virginia Tech, 46 to James Madison and 42 to Georgia State. Marshall is 4-3 and has scored 21 and 20 in its last two games. Marshall allows 30.7 points per game, with Penn State and James Madison each scoring 45. The other five opponents averaged 25, which is more than Old Dominion has scored in any game since its opener against Norfolk State. Marshall beat South Alabama 20-13 on October 20. Marshall has won 10 of 11 against Old Dominion, including a 48-24 win last October, so I'm taking Marshall to cover.
