Ram Ramblings: A night to remember at Bowman Gray Stadium

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  --  I  keep waiting for Winston-Salem State to go conservative. I guess I’ll be waiting a long time.
 
It struck me that no matter the stage, or the situation in any game, Coach Connell Maynor always lets his players make plays. A lot of coaches, and I mean, big-time coaches, sometimes never let their players do what they’ve been practicing.
Most coaches tend to tighten up and be conservative on play calling but Maynor’s different. And that’s why he’s such a good coach and won’t be stalking the sidelines at WSSU that much longer.

Maynor, who is 35-3 in his three seasons, is heading to the biggest stage of them all – the national championship game. The Rams will take on Valdosta State on Saturday in Florence, Alabama.

“It’s not rocket science,” Maynor said about his style of going for it on fourth down especially when the Rams’ offense has proven to be able to move the ball during a game. “I’ve been saying this for three years. We are going to play to our strengths and the defenses weakness. If you blitz we are going to throw screens and slants…. But you have to have players.”
