Winston-Salem State University Rams Football 2006 Season In Review and Statistics

86

Winston-Salem State University ushered in a new Division I football era in the fall of 2006 as the Rams entered into year two of a five-year transition towards NCAA Division I classification after spending 61 years as a member of Division II’s Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

The Rams would not quietly make the move to the nation’s highest level of intercollegiate athletic competition as WSSU head football coach Kermit Blount guided his team of courageous student-athletes versus many of the nation’s most storied and competitive football teams in 2006.

Despite playing only four contests in the friendly confines of Bowman Gray Stadium, coupled with one of the nation’s most challenging schedules, the 2006 season was another in a long line of history-making years for the Rams’ gridiron gang as Winston-Salem State rushed their way to a 4-7 record versus many of NCAA Division I-AA’s most powerful programs.

Ram fans saw their team take to the field in one of the nation’s earliest football games as WSSU traveled the 37 miles to Salisbury, NC to face Division II football power Catawba College.

The WSSU offense had difficulty against the staunch, senior-laden defense of the Indians while Catawba College’s talented offense reached the endzone three times as CC snuck by the Rams 21-7 to hand WSSU an opening-day loss for the fifth consecutive season.

Following a season-opening loss, the Rams rebounded to even their record at 1-1 in week two of the young football season as WSSU crushed their biggest rival when they scored on all five of their first-half possessions and broke an eight-game losing steak to North Carolina A&T State University that dated back to the 1991 season, cruising to a 41-14 win over the Aggies in front of the largest non-homecoming crowd in the 25-year history of Aggie Stadium.

Following the victory over NC A&T, the Rams fell to the 29th-ranked team in the nation in South Carolina State University and dropped a heartbreaker to Florida A&M University following impressive Rattler heroics in the game’s waning moments as WSSU fell to 1-3 on the season.

The pair of losses to two of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’s most powerful football programs did not sink WSSU’s spirits as the Bulldogs - many pundits’ prediction to win the MEAC in ’06 - merely out-depthed the Rams in the loss and FAMU snatched a victory from the jaws of defeat as they used an offense with nine upperclassmen to earn a last-second four-point win in front of a hostile home crowd of over 21,000 in Tallahassee, Florida.

A loss to nationally-ranked Coastal Carolina in week five would not derail the Rams’ season despite falling to 1-4 with the defeat. The Chanticleers, a five-year old football program that made its first NCAA postseason appearance last season, proved to be too much for the Rams as Chanticleer quarterback and 2007 NFL draftee Tyler Thigpen wore down the young WSSU secondary en route to the victory over the inexperienced Rams.

Showing the resolve and determination of a veteran team, the young Rams again proved that they are ready for the grueling competition in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference as they pounded the Bison of Howard University in a 12-0 shutout in front of a crowd of 15,991 in the Ram’s Homecoming contest the very next weekend.

Shutting out the Bison in front of the season’s largest home crowd not only avenged the Rams’ 2005 loss to Howard, but proved to the football-watching world that WSSU was not to be taken lightly.

The Rams would net two more wins on the season as they dismantled both Savannah State University (38-6) and Saint Augustine’s College (26-6) en route to posting an impressive 4-7 record in only their first year of NCAA Division I-Championship Subdivision play.

The Tigers of Savannah State University scheduled the Rams for homecoming 2006 with plans of earning a win in front of what was anticipated to be their largest crowd of the season. However, Winston-Salem State University had other thoughts in mind as the Rams tallied a season-high 306 yards rushing en route to cruising to a 38-6 win over the Tigers in front of 6,881 fans at Ted A. Wright Stadium in Savannah, Georgia as WSSU recorded their third win of the season.

Following another heartbreaking loss, this time versus #7 Hampton University, a contest which the Rams lost 13-3, WSSU responded with a celebration in the final home contest of 2006 as redshirt-freshman running back Brandon McRae celebrated his 19th birthday in style as he recorded his longest touchdown run of the season, a 41-yard outburst, to lead the Rams to a 26-6 victory over Saint Augustine’s College at Bowman Gray Stadium.

The win, the Rams’ fourth and final victory of the year, capped a very successful first year of competition at the Division I level. Highlighting the season for the Rams were several student-athletes worthy of post-season accolades. Due to the Rams’ transitional classification (year two of five), WSSU student-athletes were not eligible for post-season all-conference honors despite their impressive statistics.

Running back Brandon McRae emerged as the Rams’ primary threat on the ground as he earned 682 yards rushing on only 118 carries for a team-leading average of 62.3 yards per game en route to six rushing touchdowns.

Opening holes for McRae and the talented stable of WSSU running backs was the offensive line, anchored by center Michael Helton and surrounded by linemen John Mobley, Cleveland Williams and Joseph Blanks.

Not categorized as a passing team, the Rams showed that they could attack opponents with an aerial assault as the combination of junior quarterback Monte Purvis and senior wide receiver Josh Crawford paired up for 16 catches, 336 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Defensively the Rams continued to shine as Thadeus Griffin led the team in tackles for the third consecutive season. The big linebacker continues to impress scouts with an NFL-sized frame as he tallied a team-leading 80 tackles.

Joining Griffin were four other Rams who collected at least 40 tackles on the season as Nate Biggs (76 tackles), Demetrius Rivers (66 tackles), William Hayes (57 tackles) and Juan Corders (45 tackles) emerged on defense.

The season’s most impressive performer may well have been the team’s most senior member as fifth-year senior punter Chad Oakley proved to be one of the nation’s finest punters as he booted 52 punts for 2,277 yards and an average of 43.0 yards per kick.

Despite the impressive 4-7 record, 14th-year head coach Kermit Blount refused to rest on the laurels of current and past success as he continued to solidify the strong WSSU football program.

Blount and the Rams added 20 years of collegiate coaching experience when they welcomed Nick Calcutta as offensive coordinator and wasted no time in securing a 13-player freshman recruiting class laden with many of the East Coast’s most talented players.

With the addition of three Division I-Bowl Subdivision transfers, the Rams completed a 15-day spring season in impressive fashion and look poised to prove ready for their inaugural season in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in 2007.

WSSU Rams 2006 Game Reviews

Game #1August 26, 2006Catawba 21, WSSU 7Salisbury, NCShuford Stadium (5,039)

SALISBURY, NC – Kory Fisher recorded a trio of touchdown runs as the Catawba College Indians earned a 21-7 win over the Winston-Salem State University Rams in front of 5,039 fans at Shuford Stadium in Salisbury, NC.

Despite gaining only 57 yards on 19 total rushes, Fisher was able to single-handedly earn the Indians their first win of the season.

The Rams struck first as running back Tionti Powell (Junior/ Beaulaville, NC) capped a 10 play, 65-yard drive with a one-yard scoring run to record his first career touchdown, putting the Rams on top of the Indians 7-0 with 9:53 remaining in the first quarter of play.

Following a scoreless first quarter of play for the Indians, Fisher recorded a touchdown run in each of the remaining quarters as he tallied TD runs of four yards (second quarter), two yards (third quarter), and one yard (fourth quarter), powering the Indians to victory.

Fisher tallied his first touchdown of the evening at the 10:22 mark of the second quarter when he punched the ball into the endzone from four yards out to draw Catawba College to within one point at 7-6.

A Ram offense that looked promising on the first drive of the game encountered problems in the remaining three quarters of play as WSSU failed to score in the game’s final 54:53 with junior quarterback Monte Purvis (Winston-Salem, NC) waiting until there was only 9:56 to play before recording his first pass completion (on the fifth pass play of the contest).

The Rams recorded only 179 yards of total offense in the loss while Catawba College charged to 292 yards of offense in the win.

The loss, WSSU’s fifth consecutive opening-day loss, drops the Rams to 0-1 on the season while Catawba College improves to 1-0 with the win.

Game #2September 2, 2006WSSU 41, North Carolina A&T 14Greensboro, NCAggie Stadium (21,005)

GREENSBORO, NC – The Rams of Winston-Salem State University scored on all five of their first-half possessions as they broke an eight-game losing steak to North Carolina A&T State University that dated back to the 1991 season, cruising to a 41-14 win over the Aggies in front of the largest non-homecoming crowd in the 25-year history of Aggie Stadium.

For the second consecutive week the Rams jumped out ahead of their opponent as Winston-Salem State opened up a 17-0 lead only 1:43 into the second quarter of play.

The Rams scored on their first possession when sophomore transfer Marvin Umanzor (Miami, FL/Allen University) capped a 17-play, 80-yard drive that spent 8:32 off of the clock with a 28-yard field goal to put WSSU ahead 3-0 midway through the first quarter of play.

WSSU scored back-to-back touchdowns on their next two possessions as Tionti Powell (Beaulaville, NC/East Duplin H.S.) scored his second career touchdown on a nine-yard scramble and redshirt freshman Brandon McRae (Washington, DC/Charles H. Flowers H.S.) tallied his first career score with a seven-yard touchdown run to give the Rams a convincing 17-0 lead.

The Rams took a 27-7 into the locker room at the halftime intermission following Monte Purvis’ first touchdown pass of the season, a 31-yarder to Josh Crawford (Durham, NC/Elon University).

Crawford sped through the NC A&T secondary and Purvis found him in stride for the touchdown as WSSU ended the half with a scoring drive.

Second-half action saw Brandon McRae record his second touchdown run of the day, part of his 12-carry, 81-yard performance en route to Offensive Player of the Game honors.

McRae’s Offensive Player of the Game honors were matched by Demetrius Rivers’ (Durham, NC/Southern Durham H.S.) Defensive Player of the Game accolades following a game in which he tallied seven tackles (three solo, four assisted), one pass break up, and a sack.

With the win, the Rams improve to 1-1 overall and record their first win as a Division I program. The win earns the Rams their 10th win in the all-time series, a series that North Carolina A&T leads 33-10.

The victory marks WSSU head football coach Kermit Blount’s first coaching victory over the Aggies in eight tries.

“I don’t have the words to put it into perspective right now, but I tell you what, it feels great to come into their back yard and get a win like this. When I looked up at the scoreboard and it said 33-14, I thought it was back in 1977 [when a Blount-quarterbacked team earned a win over NC A&T]. I’m just extremely thrilled right now, I mean our kids, I am so proud of them. Now we have to get ready for next week against South Carolina State” Blount commented.

Game #3September 9, 2006South Carolina State 35, WSSU 6Winston-Salem, NCBowman Gray Stadium (5,751)

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - The 29th (NCAA Division I-Championship Subdivision) ranked Bulldogs of South Carolina State University used 334 yards rushing to run past the Rams of Winston-Salem State University by the score of 35-6 on Saturday evening at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, NC in non-conference college football action.

The Bulldogs tallied a touchdown in the first three quarters of play as well as a recording a pair of scores in the fourth quarter to open up an insurmountable 35-0 lead, a lead that they would never be close to relinquishing.

South Carolina State running back William Ford (Fr./Travelers Rest, SC) recorded the first and third touchdowns of the contest en route to an 11-carry, 170-yard rushing performance as he single-handedly out-rushed the Rams.

The Rams’ only score of the game would come courtesy of Justin Sherrod’s (So./Fayetteville, NC) first career touchdown pass as he completed a 25-yard scoring strike to Brad Herring (Sr./Lumberton, NC) with only 1:18 remaining in the contest. The Rams’ point-after try was unsuccessful, but WSSU assured themselves that they would not get shut out.

Following an onside kick, the Rams could not generate another scoring drive and the Bulldogs closed the contest with a 35-6 win.

The win improves South Carolina State to 1-1 overall (0-0 MEAC) while the Rams fall to 1-2 with the loss.

Game #4September 23, 2006Florida A&M 25, WSSU 21Tallahassee, FLBragg Memorial Stadium (13,627)

TALLAHASSEE, FL – Anthony Edwards’ one-yard touchdown run with 36 seconds remaining propelled the Florida A&M University Rattlers to a 25-21 victory over the Winston-Salem State University Rams at Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee, FL on Saturday evening as FAMU scored 14 unanswered fourth-quarter points to drop the Rams to 1-3 on the season.

The Rams played three quarters of nearly flawless football en route to an 11-point fourth-quarter lead as it looked as though WSSU would earn a win in their first-ever meeting with the Rattlers of FAMU.

However, Florida A&M quarterback Albert Chester proved to be the difference as he engineered a pair of touchdown drives and a two-point conversion over the games’ final nine minutes of play to propel the Rattlers to victory.

Trailing 21-10 with just under nine minutes to play in the contest, Chester led the Rattlers to a quick score and two-point conversion as he used superior foot speed to keep the Ram defense at bay.

Capping a five-play, 43-yard drive, Chester rushed his way into the enzdone from two yards out to cut the Rams’ lead to 21-16. A successful Chester pass attempt gave the Rattlers the two-point conversion, cutting the FAMU deficit to only a field goal.

Stalling on offense, the Rams were forced to punt the ball back to the Rattlers, setting up Chester’s drive and FAMU’s winning score.

The Rattlers effectively chewed up the clock before punching the ball into the endzone from one yard out as Anthony Edwards put the finishing touches on an eight-play, 62-yard drive that sealed WSSU’s fate and snatched a victory from the jaws of defeat for Florida A&M.

WSSU quarterback Monte Purvis had a stellar game as he recorded a pair of rushing touchdowns, and freshman running back Brandon McRae continued to impress as he tallied a touchdown run of his own.

WSSU recorded their first 100-yard rusher of the year as Tionti Powell tallied 114 yards on 13 carries in the losing effort.

The loss drops the Rams to 1-3 overall while the Rattlers improve to 2-2 overall (1-1 MEAC) with the win.

Game #5September 30, 2006Coastal Carolina 31, WSSU 12Winston-Salem, NCBowman Gray Stadium (4,701)

WINSTON-SALEM, NC – Tyler Thigpen’s four touchdown passes to three different receivers led the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers over the Winston-Salem State University Rams on Saturday evening at Bowman Gray Stadium by the score of 31-12 as the WSSU Rams dropped their third consecutive game.

The Rams drew first blood as redshirt freshman running back Brandon McRae (Washington, DC/Charles H. Flowers H.S.) capped a six-play, 80-yard drive with a 46 yard touchdown run. McRae’s scoring run would be the longest play of the 2006 season for the Rams as WSSU jumped out to an early 6-0 lead (following a missed point-after attempt).

The Chanticleers immediately responded, scoring on back-to-back possessions as Coastal Carolina quarterback Tyler Thigpen completed touchdown passes of 45 and 11 yards to Chris Noble and Jerome Simpson to build the Chants’ lead to 14-6 midway through the first quarter of play.

A Josh Hoke 24-yard field goal with 1:37 remaining in the half enabled the visiting Chanticleers to increase their lead to 11 points at 17-6 headed into the halftime intermission.

Coastal Carolina scored a pair of third quarter touchdowns to pull ahead by the score of 31-6 as Tyler Thigpen tossed his third and fourth touchdown passes of the game.

The Rams responded on their first drive of the fourth quarter as Roderick Fluellen (Columbia, SC/Richland Northeast H.S.) busted his way into the endzone from 13 yards out as he put the finishing touches on a 14-play, 80-yard drive to cut the Rams’ deficit to 19 points at 31-12.

WSSU and Coastal Carolina would trade possessions for the remainder of the contest as neither team would score again in the game.

The loss drops the Rams to 1-4 overall while Coastal Carolina improves to 3-2 with the win (0-0 Big South).

WINSTON-SALEM, NC – Corey Swinnie’s 35-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown sealed the Rams’ victory as Winston-Salem State University defeated the Howard University Bison at Bowman Gray Stadium in front of a crowd of 15,991 on Saturday afternoon.

The Rams, playing their third home game of the season used Swinnie’s defensive touchdown to stretch their six point lead to double digits midway through the fourth quarter of play.

First half action started innocently enough as the Rams and Bison managed to put only six points on the scoreboard with the only points of the half coming on a Monte Purvis 37-yard touchdown strike to Josh Crawford.

The play, a slant pattern, saw Crawford run past the coverage of Howard’s Thomas Clayborn as the senior wide receiver hauled in a well-thrown ball from Purvis for the Rams’ second receiving touchdown of the season. The touchdown gave Purvis his second TD pass of the year to go with his pair of rushing touchdowns.

Marvin Umanzor’s kick missed its mark, and the Rams took a 6-0 lead heading into the second quarter of play.

The two teams combined for 11 more drives before Swinnie’s touchdown put the icing on the Rams’ Homecoming cake.

With 8:19 to play in the contest, the Bison started a drive at their own 35 yard line as Howard looked to chip into the WSSU six-point lead. However, on the second play of the drive, Jason Holman and Williams Hayes combined to jar the ball loose from the grasp of Howard running back William Blanden.

Spinning end-over-end in the air, WSSU’s Corey Swinnie snatched the ball from flight and raced 35 yards to the endzone for a touchdown, a touchdown which marked WSSU’s first defensive touchdown since November 29, 2005 when DeRon Middleton recorded a 74-yard interception return for a score.

WSSU’s defense successfully weathered two more Howard drives to hang on for the 12-0 win and capture the Rams’ first shutout victory since a 31-0 victory over Virginia Union that came on September 24, 2005. The win improves WSSU to 2-4 overall while Howard falls to 1-4 with the loss.

Game #7October 14, 2006Bethune-Cookman 10, WSSU 6Daytona Beach, FLMunicipal Stadium (12,486)

DAYTONA BEACH, FL – Bethune-Cookman College snuck out a Homecoming victory over the Rams of Winston-Salem State University on Saturday evening in front of 12,486 fans at Larry Kelly Field at Municipal Stadium in Daytona Beach, Florida in a contest that was best described as a defensive struggle.

The lone touchdown of the day belonged to the Wildcats and came with 2:11 left in the first quarter of play as Coyla Dailey capped a 17-play, 80-yard drive with a four yard scamper for a score as BCC regained a lead that they would never relinquish.

First half action saw the Rams control the clock for 16:01 of the game’s first 30 minutes of play as Winston-Salem State ground out 24 total plays for 71 yards of total offense.

The story of the half would be senior punter Chad Oakley (Haw River, NC/Eastern Randolph H.S.). Oakley, who has generated interest from several National Football League clubs, belted three punts in the first half for an average of 49.7 yards per kick with a long boot of 53 yards.

However, it would not be Oakley’s punting, but his recently acquired place kicking duties that proved to be the story of the half as he would account for all six of the Rams’ points.

Following the withdrawal from school of WSSU placekicker Marvin Umanzor (Miami, FL/Allen University) late Thursday afternoon, Oakley inherited the vacated kicking duties for the weekend’s game against Bethune-Cookman College, and likely, for the season.

The fifth-year senior promptly responded as he tallied a pair of first-half field goals, the first from 27 yards out, and the second from 29 yards deep en route to his first recorded points since his senior year of high school in 2001.

Those six points would be enough to keep the Rams within one point of the Wildcats at halftime as a Jesus Cortez extra point following Coyla Dailey’s four yard scoring run proved to be the margin of difference headed into the intermission with WSSU trailing Bethune-Cookman 7-6.

The only scoring of the game’s final 30 minutes would come courtesy of Cortez’s 34-yard field goal with 3:07 remaining in the contest as the Wildcats pulled ahead by the four points that would prove to be the game’s final margin.

The Rams recorded only 41 yards on the ground in the game (on 39 carries), yet held the Wildcats to only 86 total yards on 38 carries as neither team broke the 200-yard total offense plateau.

Despite the loss, Oakley would be the story of the game, and would be the talk of the press box, including dominating conversations amongst several NFL scouts in attendance as he recorded nine punts for 444 yards and an average of 49.3 yards per kick.

Leading the way for the Rams on the defensive side of the ball was true freshman Juan Corders who recorded 12 total tackles with eight solo and four assisted take-downs.

With the loss, the Rams fall to 2-5 overall while the Wildcats improve to 4-3 (2-2 MEAC) with the win.

Game #8October 21, 2006WSSU 38, Savannah State 6Savannah, GATheodore A. Wright Stadium (6,881)

SAVANNAH, GA – The Tigers of Savannah State University scheduled the Rams for homecoming 2006 with plans of earning a win in front of what was anticipated to be their largest crowd of the season. However, Winston-Salem State University had other thoughts in mind as the Rams tallied a season-high 306 yards rushing en route to cruising to a 38-6 win over the Tigers in front of 6,881 fans at Ted A. Wright Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

For the fourth consecutive game, the Rams scored on the contest’s opening possession as Roderick Fluellen (Columbia, SC/Richland H.S.) powered his way into the endzone from nine yards out to record his second career touchdown.

The Fluellen touchdown would be the start of a half of football in which the Rams would completely dominate their opponent as they yielded only one yard of total offense to the Tigers during the game’s first 30 minutes of play.

Redshirt freshman running back Brandon McRae (Washington, DC/Charles Flowers H.S.) wasted no time getting in on the scoring action as he scored less than nine minutes after Fluellen putting WSSU ahead by two touchdowns following a score from two yards out to give the Rams a 14-0 edge to close the first quarter of play.

Second-quarter action would ultimately seal the win for the Rams as Chad Oakley continued to show why he may be the Rams’ most valuable player, easily drilling a 48-yard field goal to remain perfect on the season (three-for-three on FG’s, and five-for-five on PAT’s) following his acceptance of the placekicking duties at the beginning of last week.

Oakley’s field goal pushed the WSSU lead to 17-0 with just under six minutes to play in the first half as the Rams continued to exert their will over the struggling Tigers.

In what would be the theme of the day, the Rams capitalized one final time before the first half came to a conclusion as Monte Purvis engineered a 10-play, 72-yard drive that encompassed 3:50 of playing time when he found tight end Stan Wright (Durham, NC/Northern Durham H.S.) in the back of the endzone for a 14-yard touchdown with one second remaining.

Holding a 24-0 lead following the intermission, the Rams tallied a pair of touchdowns, one in each quarter of the second half, as they closed the game with a 38-6 win.

Fluellen tallied his second touchdown of the game with a two-yard run late in the fourth quarter of the game, and senior fullback Jonathan Wedlock (Fayetteville, NC/71st H.S.), atoning for his fumble that cost the Rams a score in the first half, rumbled his way in from two yards out for his lone score of the game midway through the third quarter of play to cap WSSU’s scoring.

“Its going to be a good ride home this evening. We are going to go get something to eat, and we are going to enjoy the ride home. We made some mistakes, there is no doubt about that, but our defense is really coming together, and I couldn’t be more pleased at the effort that the guys are giving. That effort translates into success, and today, they get to enjoy the fruits of their labor” WSSU head coach Kermit Blount said following the win.

The 306 yards of rushing offense marks the first time in 2006 that the Rams have cracked the 300-yard plateau and also marks only the second time this season that WSSU has had a running back rush for 100 yards or more (Brandon McRae finished with 113 yards on 16 carries).

The rushing attack paved the way for the Rams’ passing game as junior quarterback Monte Purvis recorded his first 100-yard passing game since November of 2005 when the Rams defeated Saint Augustine’s College. Purvis tallied 119 yards on Saturday as he completed all but one of his seven pass attempts and threw one touchdown. The win improves the Rams to 3-5 overall while the Tigers fall to 1-6 on the season.

Game #9October 28, 2006#7 Hampton 13, WSSU 3Hampton, VAArmstrong Stadium (17,523)

HAMPTON, VA – Despite a stellar defensive performance, the Rams of Winston-Salem State University failed to capitalize on two key possessions inside the Pirate red-zone as #17 Hampton University defeated WSSU by the score of 13-3 at Armstrong Stadium in Hampton, VA on Saturday in HU’s Homecoming game. A failed fourth-and-one inside the HU five yard line, and an Purvis throw that resulted in a questionable red-zone interception erased what could have been 14 WSSU points as the Rams tallied only a field goal in a loss to the nationally-ranked Pirates. Following a game-opening WSSU drive that encompassed 11 plays and 51 yards as well as eating up 6:29 of time, the Pirates received a Chad Oakley punt, giving HU their first drive of the contest. Hampton wasted no time in showing why they are arguably the MEAC’s best team as they mounted an eight-play, 80 yard drive that was capped by a 12 yard touchdown pass from HU quarterback TJ Mitchell as the Pirates opened up a 7-0 lead. WSSU answered back on their next possession as the Rams drove nearly the length of the field behind the rushing attack of their three-pronged tailback trio of Roderick Fluellen (41 total yards), Brandon McRae (99 total yards), and Tionti Powell (28 total yards). Redshirt junior quarterback Monte Purvis showed the poise of a seasoned veteran as he marched the Rams downfield, engineering a drive that was split evenly between the run and the pass as WSSU’s delayed handoff stymied the 17th-ranked Pirates defense. Inside the HU redzone, Purvis was stopped one yard short of a WSSU first down setting up a fourth-and-one situation at the HU four-yard line as the Rams looked to tie the game at 7-7. Despite the effectiveness of the WSSU rushing attack, the Pirates made a key stop on fourth down to force a turnover on downs, as Hampton reclaimed the ball, and more importantly, momentum, in front of the sellout home crowd of 17,523. Following another pair of defensive efforts that allowed the MEAC’s best offense only 11 offensive snaps, the Ram offense again marched downfield behind Purvis as WSSU looked to tie the contest. However, Purvis made his lone mistake of the drive as he threw an interception to end the WSSU scoring threat. Dropping back into the shotgun on third-and-nine from the Hampton nine-yard line, Purvis was picked off by Travarous Bain at the goal line as WSSU’s offense again failed to put points on the scoreboard. A jump-ball came down in the arms of Bain who juggled the ball heading out of bounds as the pass looked to be merely broken up. However, the line judge ruled the ball an interception, to the delight of the home crowd as WSSU’s second trip inside the HU red-zone turned up no points. A late Andrew Paterini field goal from 25 yards out as the first half wound down gave the home-team Pirates a slim 10-0 headed into the locker room for the halftime intermission. WSSU’s lone points of the game came at the 6:38 mark of the fourth quarter as Chad Oakley connected on a 36-yard field goal that cut the Hampton lead to 10 points at 13-3 as he ended a nine-play 47 yard WSSU drive with the Rams first, and only, points of the afternoon. The Ram defense, which gave up only 336 total yards on the day would yield only three more points to the prolific-scoring Pirates as HU would earn only 13 points on the afternoon. Leading the way for the Rams’s defense was Nate Biggs who tallied 14 tackles on the day, recording five solo tackles and nine assists as he helped Defensive Coordinator Mike Ketchum’s defense turn in one of their most impressive showings of the 2006 season. The loss drops the Rams to 3-6 overall while the Pirates improve to 8-1 with the win.

Game #10November 4, 2006WSSU 26, Saint Augustine’s 6Winston-Salem, NCBowman Gray Stadium (3,237)

WINSTON-SALEM, NC – Winston-Salem State University redshirt-freshman running Brandon McRae celebrated his 19th birthday in style as he recorded his longest touchdown run of the season, a 41-yard outburst, to lead the Rams to a 26-6 victory over Saint Augustine’s College on Saturday afternoon at Bowman Gray Stadium in the final home contest of the 2006 season for WSSU.

The Rams started the contest with their second defensive touchdown of the season when Thadeus Griffin picked off a Duane Smith pass and returned it 30 yards for a touchdown.

Flushed out of the pocket by a host of Ram defenders, Smith unloaded a questionable pass as he was hit by WSSU nose guard Jason Holman. The pass landed in the arms of the waiting Griffin who raced, untouched, thirty yards to the endzone for his first career touchdown.

WSSU would wait only two more minutes before tacking on their second score of the game as a Saint Augustine’s college snap flew over the head of punter Richard Boone and bounced over the end line for a Winston-Salem State University safety giving the home-team Rams a 9-0 advantage less than five minutes into the game.

The lead would stay at nine points for nearly an entire quarter of play until senior tight end Stan Wright caught his second touchdown of the season as he capped a three-play, 13 yard drive to give WSSU a 16-0 lead on Senior Day.

Saint Augustine’s lone score of the afternoon came on a 58-yard pass play from quarterback Duane Smith to Eric McLaughlin as the Falcons cut the WSSU lead to 10 points headed into the locker room at halftime.

Chad Oakley added his sixth field goal of the season with 27 seconds remaining in the third quarter (35 yards) and McRae closed the WSSU offensive outburst with his 41-yard score as WSSU cruised to the easy 26-6 win in front of over 3,000 fans on a chilly autumn day in Winston-Salem, NC.

The win, the Rams’ fourth of the season, gives head football coach Kermit Blount his 81st career win at WSSU, moving him into a tie with Thomas “Tank” Conrad for second place on the WSSU all-time win list. Blount trails only the legendary Bill Hayes who has 89 career wins at WSSU.

The Ram defense turned in another stellar showing as they held the Falcons to -53 yards rushing on the day and yielded only 166 yards of total offense.

The win moves WSSU to 4-6 overall while the Falcons fall to 4-6 overall (4-3 CIAA) with the loss.

Game #11November 18, 2006Norfolk State 31, WSSU 14Norfolk, VADick Price Stadium (3,902)

NORFOLK, VA – A Rams defense that had given up only 6.2 points per game over their last five contests surrendered 31 points to the Spartans of Norfolk State University, including 17 unanswered points in the second half of play, as the Winston-Salem State University Rams closed out the 2006 football season with a 31-14 loss to Norfolk State University on Saturday afternoon in Norfolk, Virginia.

The Rams started the afternoon’s scoring as DeRon Middleton picked off a Casey Hansen pass and raced 39 yards into the endzone for the Rams’ third defensive score of the 2006 season, putting WSSU ahead on the scoreboard 7-0 with 11:31 remaining in the first quarter of play.

However, the Spartan defense wasted no time in answering the challenge set forth by the visiting Rams as David Irizarry’s fumble of a kick return on the one yard line bounced into the endzone where Dustin Johnson recovered the ball for Norfolk State’s first touchdown of the afternoon, knotting the game at 7-7.

The Spartan’s would again find the back of the Rams’ endzone in the second quarter of play as Casey Hansen found Earl Henry from 16 yards out to put NSU ahead 14-7 with only 2:16 remaining in the half.

Looking as though they would trail 14-7 at the half, junior quarterback Monte Purvis and the Rams’ offense ran the two-minute drill to perfection as WSSU capped a seven-play, 68-yard drive that spanned one minute, 38 seconds with an eight-yard touchdown strike to Brent Thomas to tie the game at 14-14 headed into the locker room at halftime.

The second half of play was all Spartans as Norfolk State scored on their first three possessions of the half to pull ahead by the game’s final count at 31-17.

With 9:02 remaining in the third quarter Monte Anthony powered his way into the WSSU endzone from 13 yards out to score on the Spartan’s first second-half possession.

Norfolk State followed the Anthony touchdown up with a 71-yard touchdown pass from Casey Hansen to Emory Sammons to increase the Spartan lead to 14 points with 2:11 to play in the third quarter. WSSU’s DeRon Middleton, the star of the first half of play who returned a Hansen pass 39 yards for the Rams’ first score, was injured on the play as he strained his hamstring, forcing him to leave the game and not return.

The final NSU points came courtesy of a Jay Castellap field goal with 12:41 to play as Castellap split the uprights from 21-yards out to give the Spartans an insurmountable 31-17 lead.

Monte Purvis turned in another solid effort from the quarterback position for the Rams as he completed 50% of his passes, turning in a day where he would go 9-18 passing with one touchdown and one interception. He also led the Rams in rushing with 76 yards on 12 carries as his athleticism was a factor in the game from its onset.

With the loss, the Rams close out the season with a 4-7 record while the win moves the Spartans to 4-7 overall.

WINSToN-SALEm, NC – The Winston-Salem State Rams (11-0) continued to roll in the post season with a 17-0 win over the Cal-Poly Mustangs in the opening round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. The WSSU defense keyed the victory blanking the Mustangs, 17-0, at Bowman Gray Stadium in the team’s first appearance in the post-season.

A low-scoring contest, the Rams dominated the game scoring in nearly every way possible. The Rams first struck on the ground with a five-yard touchdown run by running back Tim Newsome, followed by a 37-yard field goal and a passing touchdown from quarterback Kermit Blount to running back Arrington Jones to complete the 17-0 shutout victory.

Newsome opened the scoring with a five-yard TD run with 13:33 left in the second quarter. The blocked PAT kick left the Rams on top, 6-0. The team would add to its lead with a 37-yard field goal by Derek Brewington at the 7:51 left in the half that left the squad on top 9-0 at the half. Jones finished the scoring taking a pass from Blount to cap the shutout win.

Randy Bolton led the Rams’ rushing attack with nine carries for 61 yards in the game while Jones added 60 yards on 15 carries. Blount led the way for the Rams’ passing attack completing 5-of-16 passes for 78 yards and a touchdown. Three WSSU defenders totaled 12 tackles each in the dominating effort by the WSSU defense.

With the win, the Rams improved to 11-0 on the season and will head into the second round of the NCAA Division II Playoffs.

TRoY, AL – The Winston-Salem State Rams (9-3) ended the 1987 season when they took a 45-14 loss to the Troy State Trojans at Memorial Stadium. The CIAA champion Rams struggled against a tough Trojan defense that held the team to just 202 yards of total offense in the contest, including just 95 yards on the ground.

The Rams battled for most of the contest, but were unable to withstand a fourth-quarter assault that saw the Trojans score 21 points and pull away for the win. After falling behind, 10-0 in the first quarter, the Rams bounced back when Frank Torrence took in a 35-yard TD pass from Connell Maynor for the Rams’ first score of the contest. The missed PAT left the Rams trailing, 10-6, but well in the game. After going scoreless in the second quarter but allowing a TSU score, the Rams bounced back when WSSU wide receiver Yancy Thigpen took in a 39-yard TD pass from Maynor to keep the Rams in the game. The WSSU two-point conversion pulled the Rams with within 10 points, 24-14 heading into the fourth quarter. Troy State would then take control of the game in the fourth quarter scoring 21 unanswered points and pulling away with the 45-14 win.

WSSU wide receiver Yancy Thigpen led the way for the Rams with a pair of catches for 77 yards and a touchdown. Rodney McKay led the Rams’ rushing efforts with eight carries for 22 yards while Broderick Groves added nine carries for 21 yards. Connell Maynor led the WSSU passing attack completing five of 13 passes for 128 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

With the loss, the Rams finish the 1987 season with a 9-3 overall record and a CIAA championship.

INdIANApoLIS, IN - IUP thrilled a Miller Stadium crowd by jumping out to a 21-0 first quarter lead and the issue was never in doubt as the Indians smashed the Rams 48-0 for their first ever postseason win at home.

The Indians piled up 592 yards of total offense, the seventh most in school history and the highest ever in a playoff contest. Ken Rock spearheaded a 332-yard rushing attack with 165 yards on only 13 carries while Charles Peoples (54 yards) and Bill Fegley (45) combined to gain nearly 100 yards on the ground.

Tony Aliucci completed only nine of 20 passes but his aerials were good for 208 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Paul Kovell was the leading receiver with four catches for 95 yards. The Indian defense also shined, registering its fourth shutout of the season by limiting Winston-Salem State to 183 total yards.

IUP scored the only points it would need on its second possession of the game on a 37-yard touchdown pass from Aliucci to Johnny White. A 30-yard connection between Aliucci and Kovell and a pass interference call on third down set up a one-yard plunge by Doug Adamrovich and a 14-0 IUP lead.

The first quarter onslaught concluded with an eight-yard run by Michael Mann with 46 seconds left in the period. From that point on, IUP continued to build its lead. The Indians added a second quarter touchdown on a 34-yard run by Rock, and also scored in the third quarter when JeMone Smith was the recipient of a 47-yard scoring pass from Aliucci.

Backup quarterback Chris Geary was given game action in the fourth quarter, and he responded with a nine-yard scoring pass to Kovell. A 26-yard run by Peoples set up the final IUP score of the game, a one-yard run by Jay Murray with 7:11 remaining.

emmanuel Akah (G)2006-Present - Miami Dolphins

Former WSSU guard Emmanuel Akah has signed a free agent contract with the National Football League’s Miami Dolphins following his NFL Europe Championship season with the Frankfurt Galaxy this spring as confirmed by the Official Website of the Miami Dolphins.

Akah split the 2006 NFL Europe League season, having started with Rhein before joining Frankfurt. Overall, he played in seven games, including starts in the final three regular season games and the Galaxy’s World Bowl win over Amsterdam. The 27 year-old Akah is a native of London, England, who finished high school at Tottenville High in Staten Island, New York. During his time at WSSU, Akah was instrumental in helping to anchor the Rams’ offensive line as he led an offensive front that saw (twice) and Jerrick “Jed” Bines (once) each broke the 1,000 yard mark. During Akah’s two-year tenure at WSSU, the Rams led the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) in rushing.

“I am very excited for Manny that he has shown his ability and talent, and that he will now get the opportunity to play in the NFL. It certainly shines light on our program and shows that we have young men out there that are continuing their careers and are doing good things. As coaches it makes us feel good to know that we have helped a young man to successes in life, both on the field and off. He has made all of us here at WSSU proud and we will continue to monitor his future endeavors.” WSSU head football coach Kermit Blount said.

WSSU ATHLETICS INFoRmATIoN EmAIL dISTRIBUTIoN LISTFollowing all WSSU athletic contests, the WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations releases post-game stories, notes, statistics, and weekly releases to a large contingent of media all over the country.

ELECTRoNIC mEdIA REgULATIoNSWinston-Salem State University Athletics has its own home page on the Internet (www.WSSURAMS.com). With the recent growth of the World Wide Web, the following policies have been adopted by Winston-Salem State University for both credentialing and allowing access to practice and interviews. Nothing in this policy creates any right, entitlement, or interest in the media credentials to anyone or any entity, as this is a guideline only. The final decision for media credentials remains the sole and exclusive discretion of Chris Zona, WSSU Assistant Director of Athletics for Media Relations.

These guidelines are intended to provide the WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations with guidance in exercising sole and exclusive discretion as to who will be issued media credentials, but are guidelines only. They are intended to list some of the factors that will assist in providing media credentials. Because technology and media are dynamic processes, these guidelines do not, and cannot, exhaustively list or describe each situation that may occur.

Only the official website of a WSSU opponent (and/or its official conference site) will automatically be issued passes for those events that require access (or media) credentials (with a maximum of two credentials). Other than the official website of an opponent, the below guidelines must be met for minimum consideration for credentials and access for any Internet site.

1. No online service will be allowed “real time” transmission of any live Winston-Salem State University athletic event (known as “cybercasts”). Those broadcast rights are co-owned by WSSU, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and the radio and television partners of those two entities. “Real Time” is defined as any on-line media providing live continual play-by-play coverage, digital photographs, audio or video of an event, and includes the use of in-game comprehensive statistics. WSSU reserves the right to grant approval of real time play-by-play game statistics via the Internet, as these rights are no different than television or radio rights and are essential in building the WSSU brand. These rights are reserved for the agencies representing the participating institutions in an official capacity and contractual rights fee-paying media. In conjunction with this, radio and television stations, networks or cable systems are prohibited from making available video highlights without permission from WSSU.

In addition, the official websites of the two participating institutions are the only ones allowed to serve as sources of information (other than the score and appropriate scoring plays) via the Internet during the game.

2. Any entity, agency or individual may request access and/or credentials, but the decision to grant media credentials rests in the sole and exclusive discretion of WSSU. Some non-exhaustive examples as to which Internet providers may be granted media credentials are the official online service of a national over-the-air or cable network or established publication (e.g. ESPN, CNN/SI, CBS SportsLine, etc.). Request and subsequent coverage, if granted, must be done in the true name of those seeking credentials and access, and not be a moniker.

3. Websites that sponsor “message boards,” “message centers” or “chat rooms” where people are allowed to post anonymous information, speculation and rumors are ineligible for credentials or access. NOTE: If a medium has an online site and they sponsor these anonymous forums, they may continue to request credentials under its traditional medium (newspaper, television, magazine, radio) but will not be granted additional passes for online staff.

Websites that request and wish to qualify for credentials that sponsor these forums must display them in a manner where posters of information are both accurately identified (no monikers) and have accurate contact information.

4. Any online service that places emphasis on the recruitment of potential student-athletes will not qualify for credentials. This is defined as any organization that is recognized as an outlet intended primarily for the purpose of recruiting news and or the recruitment of student–athletes where 50 percent or more of the information relates to this topic. Those organizations will thus be considered recruiting organizations and will not be eligible for credentials.

5. Membership in a writer’s association (e.g. FWAA, USBWA) does not automatically qualify an online agency, or any other organization, for credentials or access.

6. Credentials will not be granted to any online agency operating sites that are in any way affiliated with gambling, or to “freelance” or “fan-based” sites that are not affiliated with a legitimate news gathering organization. For example, “I’m covering for AOL,” will have to be validated by a request from a sports director, again associated with an official news gathering organization.
