WSSU scrambling after shocking loss to St. Aug's

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Winston-Salem State finds itself in rare territory this week after getting upset 17-14 by St. Aug’s in Raleigh on Saturday.

Offensive lineman Tim Samuels of the Rams came to the weekly news conference on Tuesday afternoon and was asked about the loss.

“I’m still shocked,” Samuels said about only the second loss to a Southern Division team in the last seven seasons.

There were a lot of shocked Rams as the Falcons rallied to score the winning touchdown on Demetrius Lewis’ 9-yard pass to Sam Boyd with 39 seconds left in the game.

Coach Kienus Boulware of the Rams said the goal this week in practice is to regain any kind of confidence they can. At 4-3 and 1-1 in the Southern Division, the Rams aren’t eliminated from the division, but they will need help as they try to win the division for the seventh straight year.
