Maynor: No quarterback controversy at WSSU

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  -- Having two quality quarterbacks is a problem most coaches would love to have.

That’s the way Connell Maynor of Winston-Salem State sees it. Anthony Carrothers and Rudy Johnson shared time at quarterback last week in a rout of Virginia University of Lynchburg, and both are capable of leading the offense.

"It’s a good problem to have,” Maynor said. “I’ve always said: ‘If you have just one quarterback, you have none.’”

Carrothers was nursing a slight injury before the VUL game. Maynor started Johnson, a transfer from Texas Southern, and it quickly became apparent that he would be fine. Johnson completed his first seven passé and helped the Rams win 62-8.

WSSU, ranked No. 19 in Division II, will take on No. 17 Tuskegee at 1 p.m. Saturday in the Cleveland Classic at Cleveland Browns Stadium. Maynor said he will make a game-time decision on who starts at quarterback.
