WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Fullback Will Miller of Winston-Salem State was tempted to spike the ball after catching the first touchdown pass of his career in last weekend’s playoff victory against Slippery Rock.Adding to the temptation for Miller, a 24-year-old junior and 2007 Carver High graduate, was the fact that it was the first touchdown he scored, ever, after years of toiling as a lineman through youth football and into high school.
"The funny thing was it was my only touchdown, and it was actually a highlight on ESPN,” Miller said. “How great is that?”
WSSU highlights don’t usually make it to ESPN’s “Sports Center.” But they did this time, because the Rams were in the national news after the attack on quarterback Rudy Johnson at a CIAA luncheon Nov. 15 and the playoff game was Johnson’s first since then.
