WSSU Rams come back strong, roll to 62-8 win

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  -- The Winston-Salem State Rams found a perfect remedy for what was troubling them — a game against Virginia University at Lynchburg.

WSSU steamrolled its way to a 62-8 win at Bowman Gray Stadium on Saturday to regain a little of its swagger.

"We are getting there," said wide receiver Tehvyn Brantley, who had five catches for 139 yards, with three touchdown catches. "We still have some things to work on, but we are getting there. This was a first step."

The Rams, coming off a disappointing loss to UNC Pembroke in their opener, piled up 605 yards of offense, scored on four of five possessions in the first half and had little trouble against the mismatched Dragons.

Coach Connell Maynor changed things up slightly by starting Rudy Johnson, a transfer from Texas Southern, at quarterback, and Johnson completed his first seven passes as the Rams scored on their first two possessions.
