ODU Aims for 10th Win in Cure Bowl Showdown

Old Dominion University's football team is set to compete in their third bowl game in five seasons, facing off against the South Florida Bulls in the StaffDNA Cure Bowl. This highly anticipated game, taking place on Wednesday, December 17th, pits two 9-3 teams against each other, with ODU striving for their tenth win, a milestone not reached since 2016. The Monarchs have had a strong season, achieving an undefeated 6-0 home record for the third time in program history.

Adding to the intrigue, neither team's usual starting quarterback will be present. ODU's Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year, Colton Joseph, has entered the transfer portal, leading to redshirt freshman Quinn Henicle taking the starting role. Meanwhile, USF's starting quarterback, Byrum Brown, will be sidelined after discussions about his future with the team's new head coach.

ODU's head coach, Ricky Rahne, recently signed a four-year contract extension following the team's successful season. The Monarchs also engaged in a community service event prior to the game, packing food for local residents, showcasing their commitment beyond the field.
