NORFOLK (WAVY) – Old Dominion held its annual spring game scrimmage on Saturday at SB Ballard Stadium. On an 80 degree day and under sunny, blue skies, coach Ricky Rahne got a final look at his team before summer practices in a few months. Quarterback Colton Joseph took reps with the first team offense and made some plays with his legs, but his most impressive play was a long pass down the sideline to 6-foot-3 JUCO wide receiver Ja’Cory Thomas which led to the first touchdown of the afternoon.
