Rams' mission during Homecoming week: Focus

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- If there’s one message Winston-Salem State coaches have tried to convey to players this week, it’s about focus.

During homecoming week there are so many distractions that it sometimes can keep coaches up at night.

Offensive coordinator John Eder has made it a point to tell all the Rams the only focus should be on beating Shaw. Game time at Bowman Gray Stadium is 2 p.m. in what is sure to be an overflow crowd.

Punter Will Johnson said Eder’s message was simple.

“He just told us homecoming is for the alumni and the fans,” Johnson said. “When you come back after you graduate, then you can enjoy it. Now, it’s about taking care of business.”
