Read the ODAC Football Report: Week 1

The 2014 season kicked off this past weekend with each of the ODAC's eight squads playing against non-conference competition.  All but two teams were on the road, with the conference going 4-4 overall.  Two of those victories proved to be shutouts as Guilford College and Shenandoah University blanked their opponents.

Catholic University got the season started on Friday evening, falling to fourth-quarter surge from McDaniel, 34-31.  Weather got in the way of several games on Saturday, including the postponement of Shenandoah's tilt at Gallaudet University.  The didn't phase the Hornets as they shutout the Bison, 20-0.  Guilford also did a bit of whitewashing, keeping Greensboro out of its red zone all afternoon on the way to the first shutout in the 18-game history of the Gate City Soup Bowl, 52-0.

Bridgewater College used some late magic in the fourth quarter to pull out a 33-32 win at Gettysburg College.  Washington and Lee University fell in a tight contest at Averett, 20-17, and Randolph-Macon College ran into a strong Johns Hopkins team out of the gate, falling 42-3 to the Blue Jays.  Hampden-Sydney College made the trip to Wabash College for a top-20 matchup the was dubbed "The Gentelmen's Classic" as both schools are the only all-male institutions in NCAA Division III.  The Tigers were topped by the Little Giants, 34-21.
