Expectations high as WSSU Rams hit field
WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - One of the most highly anticipated seasons in recent Winston-Salem State football history will start at 6 p.m. today when WSSU plays UNC Pembroke at Bowman Gray Stadium.
The Rams are coming off a program-best 13-1 season and are No. 9 in the American Football Coaches Association's preseason rankings.
"We've got a veteran team coming back, and we've replaced the guys we lost with some quality players, and right now they are performing well," coach Connell Maynor said. "I think because our offense and defense are both so experienced, it's really hard to make plays in practice. I think they are ready to play outside competition."
Maynor predicted a two-touchdown victory earlier this week against a UNCP team that has lost two straight to WSSU — 34-7 in 2011 and 21-7 in 2010, both at Pembroke.
