SALISBURY, North Carolina -- Bigger, faster, stronger, deeper, tougher. All those positive adjectives apply to a Livingstone College football program that is on the upswing. Livingstone has quietly trended in the right direction every year since the 0-11 quagmire of 2010. The recent records: 1-9, 2-8, 3-7, and then 5-5 last fall in head coach Daryl Williams’ second season. Last fall, the Blue Bears flirted with the program’s first winning campaign since 1998, although three straight road trips and key injuries created a slide from the euphoria of 5-2 to a final balance sheet of 5-5.
That’s not a losing season, but it’s not a winning season, either.
