FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina – I was starting to wonder who kidnapped the second-ranked Winston-Salem State Rams on Saturday afternoon.
The Rams played one of their worst halves of football in Coach
Connell Maynor’s three seasons and wound up being tied at 6-6 at halftime. It
was unfamiliar territory for the usually dominant Rams who had not been in a
close game since early September.
In the second half the Rams finally got their you-know-what
together and dominated the Broncos, who also came back down to earth. The
Broncos played their best half of defense this season in forcing quarterback Kam
Smith, the likely player of the year in the CIAA, into two interceptions and one
fumble.
Smith, who will likely be named offensive player of the year
in the CIAA on Tuesday, was visible frustrated and said as much after the
game.
“The offense came out in the first half and just thought they
were going to score 50 points right away,” said linebacker Carlos Fields. “But
it didn’t work out that way.”
