By golly, it’s that time of year folks. Pads are about to pop, and Lane Stadium is about to come alive. As far as previewing ODU goes, the headline is that the Monarchs have lost a lot of players on both sides of the ball. Top RB Blake Watson transferred to Memphis. Starting tackles Nick Saldiveri (pretty good) and Khadere Kounta (kinda average) are with the New Orleans Saints and UCLA, respectively. The Hokies stole top receiver Ali Jennings. Quarterback Hayden Wolff transferred to Western Michigan. Tight end Zack Kuntz is with the NY Jets. And guard Tyran Hunt is in the USFL. That’s basically all their good players on offense.
