NORFOLK, Va. (AP) Ray Lawry rushed for 194 yards and three touchdowns and Old Dominion defeated Florida International 42-28 on Saturday.

With the Monarchs' victory, a loss by Western Kentucky to Marshall later Saturday would put Old Dominion (9-3, 7-1) into the Conference USA championship game as the East Division champion against West champ Louisiana Tech. The Monarchs have won five straight games.

Lawry ran for touchdowns of 22, 2 and 24 yards and David Washington threw to Zach Pascal and Travis Fulgham for scores. The Monarchs rolled up 521 total yards.

Isaiah Brown's 45-yard interception return gave the Panthers (4-8, 4-4) a 21-14 lead early in the third quarter. Old Dominion responded with 28 straight points, 14 in each of the final two quarters.

FIU interim head coach Ron Cooper finished 4-4 after taking over for Ron Turner, who was fired Sept. 25. Butch Davis was hired as the new head coach on Nov. 15 but Cooper finished the season.
