WSSU hits the road to play St. Aug's

RALEIGH, North Carolina -- Winston-Salem State doesn’t really know what it will see on Saturday against unpredictable St. Augustine’s.

The Rams (4-2, 1-0 Southern Division) will take on the Falcons (2-4, 1-0) in Raleigh at 1 p.m.

The Falcons have looked good (an 81-9 win over Lincoln and bad, a 66-20 loss to Bowie State) this season. However, another positive step for the Falcons came last week in a 30-29 win over Livingstone when Sean Smith came on to make a 23-yard field goal with eight seconds left.

Linebacker Jayron Rankin of the Rams says they will be prepared for whatever Falcons team shows up – a team capable of putting up 81 points or allowing 66.

“I think it will be somewhere in between,” Rankin said. “We know they have some good receivers who are fast and they are big.”

The Rams, the six-time defending Southern Division champions, can take another step toward the division title with a victory. Since 2011 the Rams are 30-1 against Southern Division opponents.
