WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- In spite of Winston-Salem State University’s unprecedented football success over the past two seasons (27-2), linebacker Carlos Fields refuses to take anything for granted. He’s acutely aware that there are no guarantees for the Rams, who advanced to play for last year’s Division II national championship. The memories of a 35-7 defeat to Valdosta State (Ga.) haven’t faded. In fact, it provides more incentive for Winston-Salem State in its quest to return to the national title game in December.
“The way we performed last season was all about heart,” said Fields, who was voted first-team All-America by D2Football.com a year ago. “It’s very difficult to win a lot of games and find ways to stay highly focused for every game of the season. We fell one game short, but we’ll use that to add fuel to the fire. Our goal is to earn another trip to Alabama (to play for the national championship).”
