Ram Ramblings: A final look at long football season with a long blog post

SHEPHERDSTOWN, West Virginia
 – There were plenty of things to think about on our long drive back to Winston-Salem early Sunday morning.

Journal photographer Andrew Dye and I made our way back to Winston-Salem and despite the constant parade of cops who were nabbing drivers for speeding we never got pulled over. I guess when it’s the last day of the Thanksgiving holiday and folks are trying to get home its like fish in a barrel when looking to give out speeding tickets.
One of the things that Andrew and I discussed was the time of possession that Shepherd enjoyed in the 7-0 win over Winston-Salem State on Saturday afternoon. To control the clock for nearly 49 minutes of a 60-minute game is as one-sided as it gets.

That goes to show you just how good WSSU’s defense was in allowing one touchdown. It helped that Shepherd missed two field goal attempts but it was obvious if WSSU was going to win on Saturday it needed its defense to score.
