Favret has selected 11 of his favorite games across the past 20 seasons, including seven against current Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) opponents, three versus non-ODAC schools — though one was a member at the time of the game — along with one NCAA Division III playoff contest.

Favret is the second-winningest coach in school history, with 131 victories in 20 seasons, and a five-time ODAC Coach of the Year honoree.
