On Saturday night, the Old Dominion Monarchs (3-5) will try to end their four-game losing streak when they visit the Vanderbilt Commodores (2-6). Both teams are currently near the bottom of their respective conference standings.

Last weekend, Old Dominion couldn't find a way to stop Western Kentucky's offense and ended up losing 66-51. Their defense ended up giving up 643 total yards in that loss, while their offense turned it over three times.

The one thing that the Monarchs do well is pass the ball, averaging 290 passing yards per game. Senior quarterback Taylor Heinicke has been able to complete 63.2 percent of his passes this season for 2,286 yards, 21 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Wide receiver Antonio Vaughan has caught 37 passes for 653 yards and nine scores.

Vanderbilt had a hard time moving the ball against Missouri last Saturday and ended up losing 24-14 on the road. They were only able to gain 240 total yards in that game, which included just 44 yards on the ground.

Through eight games, the Commodores are one of the worst scoring teams in the country by averaging just 17.1 points per game. Freshman wide receiver C.J. Duncan has been able to catch 21 passes this season for 351 yards and three touchdowns. Running back Ralph Webb has averaged 4.3 yards per carry and has 589 yards with two scores.
