Old Dominion dominated Louisiana-Monroe 31-6 behind an unstoppable ground attack led by Colton Joseph's three touchdown runs. The Monarchs built a commanding 24-0 halftime lead, scoring on their first three possessions with rushing touchdowns from both Joseph and Ke'Travion Hargrove. ULM finally found the endzone late in the fourth quarter when Aidan Armenta connected with Rylan Green on a 4-yard touchdown pass, but by then the Warhawks were well beyond comeback range.
