MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) — Elijah Davis and Blake Watson scored touchdowns three minutes apart and Old Dominion rallied in the fourth quarter to defeat Middle Tennessee 24-17. The Monarchs entered the final quarter tied at 10-10 with Middle Tennessee driving to a first-and-goal. The Monarchs stopped the threat with R’Tarriun Johnson’s fourth-down tackle for an 11-yard loss.
