This definitely isn't the Winston Salem State football team you are probably used to.
After losing to Valdosta State Saturday 31-3, they are 0-2 and have scored only one touchdown in two games and have given up 51 points in two games.
Doesn't sound like the Rams program we are used to.
"We've got so many new guys in our lineup, we're still trying to figure it out," Winston Salem State head coach Kienus Boulware said to the Winston-Salem Journal. "We have to figure whether we're going to be a running team or a passing team, just figure out who we are as a team."
Saturday, the Rams offense again struggled, albeit against the 14th best Division II in the country in Valdosta State. WSSU only had 178 yards of offense against VSU, 110 of those came from Tyree Massey's 110 yards rushing.
Defensively, the Rams had three sacks and an interception, but allowed 359 yards of offense to Valdosta State Saturday.
Things aren't going to get much easier for Winston Salem State. They are back on the road to take on Tuskegee next week.
