WSSU one win away from title game

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  --  Quarterback Kameron Smith of Winston-Salem State had an extra bounce in his step Thursday afternoon when he trotted onto the practice field just below Bowman Gray Stadium.

Smith, a senior and one of the best quarterbacks in program history, will need that bounce again today when WSSU plays West Texas A&M in the semifinals of the Division II football playoffs. Kickoff is set for 6:30 at Bowman Gray.

“I’m been thinking about this game a lot,” said Smith, who is 30-3 as a starter with career totals of 93 touchdown passes and 7,038 passing yards. “I actually had a dream the other night about playing my last home game. The dream turned out good because we won.”

To advance to the national-championship game for the first time, the Rams (13-0) will have to control a very good opposing defensive line. The Buffaloes (12-2) have a Division II-best 58 sacks and have put pressure on quarterbacks all season.

“I might have to bring the ball down and run a little more, but we’ll be ready,” Smith said.
