Thursday night lights are back in Norfolk! For the second straight year, the Monarchs take center stage on national TV, hosting a Troy team coming off a bye and carrying bad intentions. And here’s the headliner: Colton Joseph, one of the most electric quarterbacks in America, enters ranked second nationally in yards per completion, top five in total offense, and top five in points created. If you like fireworks, danger, and quarterbacks who throw like they mean it, welcome home.

Kent State walked into InfoCision Stadium, watched a 35–17 fourth-quarter lead evaporate into dust, and still found the resolve to plant a flag on Akron’s field: the Wheel comes home.
Western Michigan found just enough daylight to edge Ohio 17–13 at Waldo Stadium. The win keeps the Broncos firmly alive in the MAC title race at 6–1 in league play, riding the legs of Broc Lowry and Jalen Buckley when every inch mattered.
The Chippewas forced five turnovers — a full season’s worth compared to last year — and buried Buffalo 38–19 in a performance that felt like a statement from a program still shaping itself under first-year head coach Matt Drinkall.
The wind at Fred C. Yager Stadium had a way of pushing the night sideways, bending long passes off-course and carrying the cold across the field like a second defense.
