Ram Ramblings: Rams dream season nearly came to a crashing halt

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Senior defensive lineman Jermaine Kesler of Winston-Salem State was having a serious flashback to Oct. 30, 2010 at Durham County Stadium.

It was that day when Shaw got a late interception of Kam Smith and went on to a 31-27 win over the Rams. That was the last time the Rams lost to a CIAA opponent, but the scene looked very familiar on Saturday to WSSU’s fans and to Kesler.
 
                   
This time it was Darnell Evans, who is one of the most talented players in the CIAA, who nearly ruined WSSU’s season. Evans, a senior safety, intercepted a floating deep pass by Rudy Johnson after wide receiver Kenny Patterson had fallen down. Evans then went 88 yards untouched for a touchdown with a little more than eight minutes left in the game.

The Bears had a 24-21 lead and for the first time since 2010 the Rams trailed late in a CIAA game.
