ODU is a program that is shaping up to resemble GSU in the 1980s. After being without a football program for 69 years, head coach Bobby Wilder has -guided the Monarchs to an impressive 27-7 record in three years, including 10-2 so far this season. This is their first year in the postseason, and they started their playoff history with a 35-18 win over Norfolk State University. GSU should be feeling refreshed after their first bye week since week three of the regular season. The team practiced most of Thanksgiving break, but could not game plan for ODU completely because ODU had to defeat Norfolk State to get to this point.
