CHARLOTTE, North Carolina - Winston-Salem State no longer plays N.C. A&T or N.C. Central — previously
its biggest rivals. That leaves it to Johnson C. Smith to fill the void.
But in football, it hasn't been much of a rivalry — the fourth-ranked Rams
(5-0, 2-0 CIAA) have won nine straight in the series and will have a chance to
extend their streak at 4 p.m. today at Charlotte's Memorial Stadium.
The Rams found out last season that the Bulls won't be pushovers. WSSU won
28-10 at Bowman Gray Stadium, but it wasn't the blowout many had predicted.
Coach Connell Maynor of WSSU said that the Bulls (2-3, 1-1) are dangerous
because of what's at stake.
"It's just the fact that their backs are against the wall," Maynor said.
"They know they have to win this game if they want to have a chance to play for
the CIAA championship. It's basically a championship game for them. This is
pretty much their season, and any time you put a team in that situation, they
are going to come out fighting."
