The goals are the same for most Football Bowl Championship teams as they approach a new season. Win the conference championship, and if you don’t, win six or more games so you can get to a bowl.
Old Dominion University’s football fans certainly had the same goals when the season began. But as the Monarchs travel to Marshall Saturday afternoon, ODU’s No. 1 goal should simply be to show improvement on offense.
Even if they don’t win, and Marshall is a 15 ½-point favorite, the Monarchs need to show that they can sustain drives and put double digits on the scoreboard.
