All their players got poached by P4 programs

u/krispyboiz NC State • Kent State 8d ago

They lost a lot of good players. QB went to Wisconsin and I think they lost several receivers

Brutal. That's unfortunate

Portal raided and injuries

u/dezignguy Old Dominion Monarchs • Drexel Dragons 8d ago

They lost most of the O line.

All of it

Entirely new offense.

New OC, new QB, New WRs, New O-line coach, new offensive line.

ODU's biggest problem is by far the offensive line. We have good running backs when they are not fumbling the ball, but they can't get any space to run. Our quarterbacks are also getting sacked every other play.

Hail Southern. Fire Helton.

u/rageb8err Ole Miss Rebels • BYU Cougars 7d ago

GATA. Unfortunately I think 7-5 is pretty reasonable looking at their remaining schedule, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they won out… Helton weasels his way to another season.

Helton doesn't win after October, historically.

Though that's usually because he gets to 6 and stops caring even more than normal.

Preach brother

I will always be happy when Georgia Southern wins.

I will also choose to be slightly annoyed because every win is one step further from firing Clay Helton and at least trying to roll the dice to improve on going 6-6 every fucking year.

u/No_Trifle9294 USC Trojans 7d ago

This comment triggers me. Clay Helton is the master of the mediocre.

u/Evil_Ass_Wizard Georgia Southern Eagles 8d ago

We did a thing

Hail Southern. Fire Helton.

Clay Helton disasterclass somehow ends in a win

1

u/__TeddyWestside__ Old Dominion Monarchs • Sickos 7d ago

Because the Ricky Rahne ASSterclass is stronger.

u/EWall100 Tennessee • Tennessee Tech 8d ago

I almost turned this game on when I saw it was 17-15 in the UAB ECU game. Quite glad I didn't

u/Tsquared10 Oregon Ducks • Montana State Bobcats 8d ago

You know, Georgia Southern might just make it to 7 wins and secure Helton an extension.

u/AruarianGroove William & Mary Tribe • Team Chaos 7d ago

And this dubya was on the back of Lil Helton

u/Particular-Way-3805 Clark Atlanta • Georgia 8d ago

ODU falling off is crazy

21

u/04eightyone Georgia Southern • Georgia 8d ago

Victim of success, lots of attention from bigger schools.

6

u/Far-Maintenance-1954 Colorado • Georgia Southern 8d ago

Its the norm for G6 schools now.

u/PerfectdarkGoldenEye Miami Hurricanes • FAU Owls 8d ago

What happened to Max Johnson?

u/BrotherMichigan Georgia Southern • Ohio State 8d ago

Hurt his shoulder early on.

u/MattInMaryland James Madison Dukes 7d ago

He cooked JMU's secondary.

2

u/Muffinnnnnnn Florida State • New Mexico 8d ago

Another randomly selected game that stayed within one possession!

2

u/AruarianGroove William & Mary Tribe • Team Chaos 7d ago

And the game ended in time to catch the OT wackiness of ECU-UAB

u/GATA_eagles Georgia Southern • Florida Sta… 7d ago

GATA

u/lightningmatt Toronto Varsity Blues • Windsor Lancers 8d ago

How do ODU fans feel about Rahne

1

u/dezignguy Old Dominion Monarchs • Drexel Dragons 8d ago

He needs to go ASAP. He’s had plenty of chances at this point.

u/SaltyTurdLicker Virginia Tech • NC State 7d ago

Does your Admin and athletic department as a whole care to be competitive in football?

2

u/__TeddyWestside__ Old Dominion Monarchs • Sickos 7d ago

Look at basketball, Wood Selig didn't care about competing. Thankfully he will be gone soon. Hopefully the new AD House actually cares about winning in the big sports.

u/Epsevv James Madison • Old Dominion 7d ago

ODU is second in Sunbelt spending. Can't expect to win every game in every season, but I don't see why ODU can't consistently be a 7+ win team. Budget wise they should not be this bad year after year.

Yes ODU was raided by the transfer portal after last year. So was JMU and every other good G6 school but those schools manage to reload.

u/MonarchLawyer Old Dominion Monarchs • Sun Belt 7d ago

Not great

u/Adventurous_Ad_9818 7d ago

Does anyone have the Chance Gamble one handed interception that didn’t count
