WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Teams coached by Connell Maynor don’t play conservatively very often, but with the CIAA’s Southern Division title on the line Saturday, Winston-Salem State went to its power running game and defeated Fayetteville State 28-14. Maurice Lewis did most of the damage at Bowman Gray Stadium, rushing for a career-high 186 yards on 29 carries and scoring two first-quarter touchdowns to provide a cushion.
"We just went back to smash-mouth football when we needed to get a touchdown," said Maynor, whose Rams ran for 277 yards.
It appeared the Rams would have an easy time after touchdown runs of 3 and 10 yards by Lewis, a junior who has more than 2,000 career rushing yards. But the Broncos kept the Rams in sights, and it was still a 14-0 game when the fourth quarter started.
