WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Winston-Salem State won’t face its toughest opponent of the season Saturday at Livingstone, and Coach Connell Maynor is sticking with a phrase he uses often — “Respect all, fear none” — to keep his team focused in practice.The No. 15-ranked Rams (6-1, 4-0 CIAA) know the danger of an upset lurks around every corner. But they have won six straight this season and have dominated their last three games against the Blue Bears (2-5, 1-4), winning 58-0, 63-7 and 58-0. They also lead the CIAA in most major statistical categories.
"One loss could cost us everything,” Maynor said Tuesday. “It could cost us getting into the playoffs because with two losses, there’s no guarantee that we would even get invited. So we know that one loss could ruin our season.”
Although it’s possible the Rams could lose once more and still make the Division II playoffs, Maynor isn’t leaving anything to chance.
