Monarch football fans have a lot to look forward to as ODU makes the transition to Division I FBS football. The 2013 schedule is a haphazard mix of home “buy” games and road games against some top regional opponents. The Monarchs will find themselves in the deep end of the pool very quickly as they open the season at East Carolina then travel to Maryland, but they’ll also see Howard, The Citadel, and Albany in succession at home after that. ODU can’t get complacent, and Saturday’s Blue/White game was a sign that the program is still moving forward.

By all accounts, Old Dominion’s Spring Game was uneventful. That’s just how Head Coach Bobby Wilder would have liked it. According to Wilder, Saturday’s event was “business as usual,” where quarterback Taylor Heinicke paced the offense, all areas of the program looked polished, and no one left the game with an injury.
