Box Score The task is simple for the 13th ranked Rams, post a win over the Blue Bears and they sew up the Southern Division title and a berth in the CIAA Championship game with three weeks to go.
While the Rams have been dominant all season, the one chink in their armor has been their trouble defending the pass. In their 35-28 win over Saint Augustine's on Saturday, the Rams' secondary was torched for a career-high 464 yards and four touchdowns by Falcons' quarterback Teddy Bacote.
Winston-Salem State is allowing 311 passing yards a game over their last four and has dipped to tenth in the league in pass defense (230 yards a game), so there is room for marked improvement.
Livingstone just missed picking up their second win of the season when Edward Waters scored in the game's closing seconds to post a 14-13 win over the Blue Bears. Despite their record, there is some good young talent on the Blue Bears' roster.
With a solid nucleus of young talent, there should be better days ahead for LC football, but stopping a talented, deep, and experienced Winston-Salem State team this season will be a tall order for the young Blue Bears. Game time is set for 6:00 pm at Livingstone's Alumni Memorial Stadium.
