WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Johnson C. Smith has a reputation for being able to score quickly, and it will be tested today against 16th-ranked Winston-Salem State. Kickoff is set for 1:30 at Bowman Gray Stadium.
"There haven’t been a lot of CIAA teams that have matched us in terms of scoring points,” said Coach Connell Maynor, who will try for his 40th career victory today.
Maynor’s Rams (4-1, 2-0 CIAA) are riding a four-game winning streak and leading the CIAA in scoring at 45.8 points a game. The Golden Bulls (4-1, 2-1) are second (38.6 ppg), but the Rams’ defense has been the stingier of the two, allowing a CIAA-best 16.4 points a game.
Johnson C. Smith allows nearly 22 points a game and has been susceptible to giving up yards through the air.
Maynor also has an offense that’s rolling. The Rams ran up 690 yards of offense — the highest total in his 44 games as coach — in last week’s 56-21 domination of Bowie State.
