WATCH: Bad snap on Virginia Tech field goal attempt leads to wild Old Dominion scoop and score
The Old Dominion Monarchs have stunned the Virginia Tech Hokies in the first half of Friday night’s matchup. The Hokies lined up for a field goal late in the first quarter to try and stretch their lead to 10-3, but it was completely botched by the Hokies’ snapper and holder. The ball was loose in the open field and then a scrum ensued, sending the ball further down the field. From there, Old Dominion safety Robert Kennedy III pounced on the football, and it was off to the races for six points.
Check it out.
The touchdown put Old Dominion up 10-7 with just less than two minutes remaining in the first half. Virginia Tech quarterback Grant Wells threw two interceptions in the first half and the Virginia Tech Hokies had to have been a bit nervous after that wild sequence. The Hokies came back and took control of the game, leading 17-10 with over three minutes remaining in the third quarter.
Old Dominion pulled off a stunning upset against Virginia Tech
Four years ago in 2018, the Monarchs stunned 13th ranked Virginia Tech 49-35 in one of the biggest wins in ODU football history. In that one, Old Dominion receivers Travis Fulgham and Jonathan Duhart torched the Hokie secondary to the tune of 330 total receiving yards and four touchdowns.

Friday night’s game has been sloppy for both teams. Virginia Tech and Old Dominion both have five turnovers apiece with over a minute remaining in the third quarter. Virginia Tech running back Keshawn King rushed for over 100 yards on 15 carries before the finish of the third quarter.
The Hokies’ defense has been stingy thus far tonight, just allowing three points through the third quarter. Virginia Tech safety Chamarri Conner has played very tight coverage for most of the night. Hokies linebacker Dax Hollifield also laid a bone-crushing hit that forced a fumble.
