Tuskegee should be a good test for WSSU

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  -- After two games, just how good Winston-Salem State can be remains a mystery.

But today’s game against SIAC power Tuskegee should offer some insight. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. at Bowman Gray Stadium (Aspire Network Ch. 185, WTOB 1380).

The Rams, 1-1 and ranked No. 18 in the AFCA Division II coaches poll, have had mixed results with their two-quarterback system of Rudy Johnson and Phillip Sims. It worked well in a rout of UNC Pembroke in the opener. But last week in a hard-fought 22-17 loss to Valdosta State, the rhythm of the up-tempo offense was missing.

Johnson and Sims rotated every series in the first two games, but today it’s possible each will work two series at a time, depending on the flow of the game.

“I’m trying to get this team to get an identity, and we really haven’t had that yet,” Coach Kienus Boulware of the Rams said. “I want them to establish some kind of identity to kind of get their own legacy going instead of what we’ve done in the past.”
