MONSOON MELTDOWN: What Was App State THINKING in Shocking Loss to Old Dominion | Sun Belt Podcast

Old Dominion Monarchs shock Appalachian State Mountaineers in a rain-soaked defensive slugfest. Did App State's stubborn play-calling cost them the game in brutal conditions? Locked On Sun Belt breaks down ODU’s gritty 10-3 victory, spotlighting Devin Roche's 101-yard rushing performance and Quinn Henicle’s steady hand.
