GROUP G - Day Seven

Arkansas - 28 vs. Old Dominion - 21
War Memorial Stadium - Laramine, WY

Laramine, WY - Arkansas (1-0-0/3PTs) head coach Bret Bilema said before his game against Old Dominion (0-1-0/0PTs) that his Razorbacks needed to avoid one thing.

"Don't pull a Nebraska," said Bilema on his old Big Ten foe. "They went out and acted too high and mighty. Georgia State punched them in the gut and boy did the Huskers get lucky."

Bilema's squad didn't come out flat, just like he asked for, but they sure did end flat...almost. Despite an early 14-0 lead and forcing 4 interceptions, Arkansas narrowly escaped a huge upset from Old Dominion with a final score of 28-21.

Arkansas running back Jonathan Williams scored a on a 48-yard tackle breaking run to give the Razorbacks the lead for good, with only 2:14 remaining in the 4th quarter. Williams gained 143-yards on 9 carries, but the Razorbacks offense was fairly mediocre in the entire second half. Failing to score in the third quarter with a 21-0 lead, they allowed a pesky Old Dominion team to crawl back into the game.

"I just told the guys to be patient. We had been moving the ball and we just needed to not make mistakes," said Old Dominion head coach Bobby Wilder. "They really allowed us back in the game. We played pretty well on defense, but we were able to take advantage of their sloppy play. It wasn't a win, but I think we can at least carry on with the confidence that we can compete."

Down 21-7 entering the third quarter, Monarchs cornerback Jevon Neal intercepted Brandon Allen for a National Cup long 88-yard interception return for a touchdown. Despite throw four interceptions, Taylor Reinicke drove Old Dominion down the field on their next possession and hooked up with Antonio Vaughn for a game tying 20-yard touchdown pass.

The entire Arkansas fan base in Laramine, Wyoming was in a state of shock. If not for Jonathan Williams touchdown and a last second interception in the endzone by William Hines, the fans may have left in that same state, as well.

In the end turnovers, four of them, and redzone failures, 25% success rate, did an Old Dominion team that fought from the start until the end of the game.

"I watched that Nebraska-Georgia State game and knew we could not let up against Old Dominion," said Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen. "I am not saying we did, but I do know that they really fought harder than any team I have ever seen. I don't care what anyone says, that team is a high caliber football team and not one to mess with. Virginia [Tech] and Arizona better look out."

The first team that will need to lookout is the Virginia Tech Hokies (0-0-1/1PTs), as they will face off against Old Dominion at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. Despite the loss, Old Dominion is only separated by 1-group point and 6-points in run differential. The Monarchs are very much alive in Group G. Meanwhile, Arkansas will be looking to clinch a spot in the knockout stage as they take on Arizona (0-0-1/1PTs) in Piscataway, New Jersey.
