CHARLOTTE, North Carolina - Johnson C. Smith won its second straight game with a 28-21 victory against Virginia State at McGirt Field in the CIAA opener for both teams.
J.C. Smith (2-2, 1-0) racked up 471 yards on offense and sophomore quarterback Keahn Wallace passed for three touchdowns and ran for another.
“It’s a big game. Playing in the CIAA now is going to be a challenge, a dogfight,” Golden Bulls coach Steve Aycock said. “Our week’s preparation leads over to good play on the weekend, so we’re excited about it. We (can) rip off these next few and give ourselves a chance.”
Smith gave itself chances early on its first three possessions to take a commanding lead. Wallace opened with a 1-yard touchdown run on the Golden Bulls’ first drive, followed by scoring passes of 5 yards to Chris Patterson and a 33 to Matthew Jeffries for a 21-0 first quarter lead.
“(Offensive coordinator) Steve Shipp put in great predicaments and gave me great calls to excel,” said Wallace, who connected on 31 of 43 passes for 338 yards. “All we did was take advantage. If we someone we like, we’re checking (to a different play). All we did was keep ourselves going.”
