When I interviewed wide receiver and kickoff returner Isaiah Harper a few days before Old Dominion hosted North Texas Saturday night, he was adamant.
ODU has a good team. Yes, we’re 2-7 and we’re not going to a bowl and we suffered blowout losses to Liberty, Middle Tennessee and Florida Atlantic.
But this is the most talented team I’ve played on. We’ve only show it one game, when we upset Virginia Tech Virginia. We’ve under performed, and I don’t know why, but this is a very good team.
Harper, by the way, played on ODU’s 2016 team, which went 10-3, tied for the Conference USA East Division title and defeated Eastern Michigan in the Bahamas Bowl.
