Ask safety Cody Culbertson about the timeline of Ohio Dominican transforming from no-name into a Division II power, and he will say one need look only at the team’s last three games against Grand Valley State.
Grand Valley is a brand name in the division with national championships in 2002, ’03, ’05 and ’0 6 and a runner-up finish in ’09. Among the team’s former coaches are Brian Kelly of Notre Dame, Butch Jones of Tennessee and Chuck Martin of Miami University.
The Ohio Dominican program has never been the same after a 46-41 loss at Grand Valley in 2012.
