WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Winston-Salem State will see a different Livingstone team at 1:30 today at
Bowman Gray Stadium.
The Blue Bears have long been the doormats of the CIAA, but this season, they
at least have a semblance of an offense behind freshman quarterback Drew Powell.
At 6-3 and close to 240 pounds, Powell is a load to bring down and has helped
elevate the team with his strong arm.
"He's only a freshman, but he's playing like a junior or senior," Coach
Connell Maynor of WSSU said of Powell. "He's got a good strong arm, and he
spreads the ball around, and he's hard to bring down. If you go in there and
just try to grab him, he's going to throw you off and embarrass you.
"He's a big guy, and you really have to wrap him up."
Nonetheless, Powell will have to contend with a WSSU defense playing its best
football — the starting unit has allowed just three touchdowns over the last
four games.
