Old Dominion Wins 10-3 in a Game with Six Turnovers
Six turnovers, no points at all in the first half, and a final score of 10-3. This was not a game for the fantasy people. Old Dominion won it, and it moves to 2-4.
Nothing happened until the third quarter. Appalachian State kicked a 34-yard field goal at 11:41 to go up 3-0, and Old Dominion answered in a roundabout way, getting a safety at 7:18 to make it 3-2. The Monarchs were still behind when the quarter ended. In the fourth, Maurki James ran in from two yards at 9:30, and Quinn Henicle passed to Josh Rodriguez for the two-point conversion, making it 10-3. Neither team scored again. Appalachian State, which came in with a better record, left at 3-2.
Old Dominion ran the ball 58 times for 216 yards and threw for just 97. Appalachian State had 164 total yards, 66 of them passing, with Malachi Singleton going 5 of 23 for 72 yards and an interception. Both teams threw two interceptions and lost one fumble apiece, which is how a 10-3 game gets so many turnovers into it. ODU had two sacks, App State three.
Henicle had the top fantasy score of the game at 12.7 points, a modest high mark. He ran 26 times for 88 yards, threw two interceptions and lost a fumble, and the Monarchs still got there.
