WSSU football still searching for complete game

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- There’s no panic yet at Winston-Salem State.

Sure, the Rams might not be as dominant as in years past, but they are at least winning games. Last week’s 27-22 victory over winless Johnson C. Smith wasn’t a thing of beauty, but it beats the alternative, according to coach Kienus Boulware.

“I’ll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day,” Boulware said. “You don’t want to hear ‘you played pretty good but lost.’ We don’t operate like that around here.”



The Rams (4-2, 1-0 Southern Division) will hit the road this week and take on St. Aug’s (2-4, 1-0) in Raleigh at 1 p.m.

Maybe hitting the road after two straight home games will get the Rams’ offense going again. WSSU hasn’t shown balance on offense since the opener against UNC Pembroke.

The way to stop the Rams has been exploited by opponents.

“Teams are putting a lot of guys in the box because of our solid running game,” Boulware said. “Crowding the line of scrimmage is what we are seeing a lot of these days.”
