I think ODU has been giving up more than 41 per game in this losing streak they are on.

40-21 ODU is pretty likely. There is no way VU can out score them.

That line is down to 8 last I checked. I want VU to win, I just don't see this offense keeping Up with ODU and I don't see this defense holding them under 30. VU will have to score in the 40's to win. You tell me how that will happen.

Let's take an objective look at ODU football leaving out the Karl Dorrell hate thing. They lost to UTEP. Is UTEP very good? I doubt it since they lost to a mid-major 55-3.
This game in Nashville is going to be played in frigid conditions that will hold the score down. The low now is supposed to be 27 degrees. This might even end up in a fairly low scoring game.

Yes, objectively,
They have improved since that Utep game for a couple of reasons.
1) they got healthy after their bye week before WKU
2) Their freshman RB got his first career start last week against WKU and went off for 145 yards and 4 TD's.
The bottom line is they are now balanced on offense. Before they were 1 dimensional. Before if you got pressure on Heinicke then you could dictate how successful they would be. Not anymore.
Here is what ODU brings to Nashville Saturday night and why VU should be a winnable game for them:
Weekly Presser

7 consecutive drives with TD's.

Big Oline, biggest ODU has faced
Nigel Bowden will be the best LB we will see this year
Biggest Dline ODU has seen

+++Attention YOUTH MOVEMENT MASONIANS+++
VU is currently the youngest team in the NCAA but Old Dominion ranks 4th. Youth is no excuse against them!!!!

Vandy by 19 is more likely to happen than ODU by 19. On the other hand, nobody will win this game by that much. I see the line on this as pretty accurate.

Ok. After the game one of us will be wrong. I don't think I am. ODU will put up points . I don't see VU being able to keep up even with ODU's terrible defense. You evidently believe This VU offense isn't horrific.

Glad they got the win. Let's see if it translates against teams actually in our conference.
Now eat shit.

Yeah, you genius, I remember you saying MCCrary would throw for 5 TD's.
Like I said, before you guys get too giddy lets see how VU does against teams in the league in which they play. Beating the worst team in Conf USA is no cause for celebration.glad VU won and actually looked like a SEC team vs a conference USA team. I'm not sold they are "there" yet however.
