WSSU gets its groove back

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Winston-Salem State found its swagger in a 37-22 rout of Johnson C. Smith in front of around 3,000 at rainy Bowman Gray Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

In a season that hasn’t had much go right, the Rams didn’t do a lot that was wrong.

“We just had a great week of practice, and it all kind of came together today,” said wide receiver Rashan Williams, who caught one touchdown pass from quarterback Rod Tinsley. “We listened to the coaches, we prepared like we needed to, and it all worked out.”

The Rams (2-4, 2-1 CIAA) beat the Golden Bulls (1-5, 0-3) for the 15th straight time and it may have resurrected their season. The victory was also their first in the Southern Division portion of their schedule.

Coach Kienus Boulware of the Rams watched the offense have its best game of the season, piling up 481 yards. Tinsley went 17 of 27 passing for 234 yards with three touchdown passes to go along with two interceptions.
