Johnson C. Smith Golden Bulls need shoring up

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina - Johnson C. Smith’s offense was as good as advertised. The defense, however, needs some work.

The Golden Bulls couldn’t figure how to stop West Virginia State in a 34-31 loss last week in the season opener. JCSU outgained the Yellow Jackets 369 yards to 329, but allowed 229 yards and two touchdowns passing and an average of 17.6 yards per catch.

The Golden Bulls moved the ball in new offensive coordinator Steve Shipp’s attack, with tailback Dedrick Anderson accounting for 149 yards, including 72 rushing on 17 carries with a score. Quarterback Keahn Wallace connected on 22-of-37 passes for 267 yards and a score and five Bulls caught at least three passes, with Terrell Hutchison leading the way with six receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown.
