SALISBURY, North Carolina — Coach Connell Maynor of Winston-Salem State was not in a good mood for somebody who just won a game 40-0. Maynor’s Rams manhandled the Livingstone Blue Bears in front of nearly 4,000 on Saturday, but it was as ugly a win as they have had in the four seasons that Maynor has been around.
“ I’m disappointed,” Maynor said. “That was unacceptable the way we came out and played in the first half. And that’s my fault because I have to get these guys ready to perform in the first half — so I’ve got nobody to point the finger at but myself.”
WSSU won its seventh in a row to improve to 7-1 and 5-0 in the CIAA, but it wasn’t supposed to be that hard. The Blue Bears had other ideas.
The Rams had three turnovers in the first half and looked out of sorts on offense, but the aggressive WSSU defense bailed them out time and time again. The Blue Bears never got close to scoring, generating just 97 total yards for the game.
The Rams were up just 7-0 at halftime.
