It’s Military Appreciation Day in Blacksburg! After a fantastic section flyover by USAF F-22 Raptors the Virginia Tech Hokies and Old Dominion Monarchs got down to the business of their first ever meeting on a football field. The upstart Monarchs recently transitioned from the FCS to the FBS. Last year, Old Dominion just missed the C-USA Championship game, but finished the season 10-3 with a bowl win!
Joey Slye opened the game with a touchback, in front of a sold-out crowd at Lane Stadium. 17-year-old Steven Williams Jr. lead the Monarchs’ offense onto Worsham Field.
