(WAVY) — Old Dominion is a 29 point underdog in its Saturday afternoon showdown in Blacksburg against 13th ranked Virginia Tech. It will be the Monarchs ninth time playing a team from a Power Five conference. Last week, ODU (2-1) lost at home to North Carolina 53-23. Virginia Tech (3-0) meanwhile, manhandled ECU 64-17 in Greenville. The Monarchs are 0-8 in games against Power Five programs.

17-year-old freshman Steven Williams, the youngest quarterback in FBS, will make his first career start. He entered last week’s game late in the second quarter and played the rest of the game, earning the starting position in the process.
