Game Overview
Old Dominion Monarchs host North Carolina Central Eagles in a Week 2 matchup. Old Dominion is 0-1 to start, facing pressure to bounce back.

Key Factors to Consider

- No major injury reports impacting starting lineups for either team, both squads appear at near full strength.
- Game played in Norfolk with mild weather (86Β°F, no rain, light wind). Home team advantage applies, but no extreme environmental conditions expected.
