With the win, the Rams took sole possession of first place in the CIAA South. For the past four years, the winner of the WSSU-NCCU game has gone on to win the divisional title. And, while the score indicated a strong offensive I performance by the Rams, it was, in fact, the defense that stood out in the win. Using stunting defensive alignments, the Rams were able to contain the Eagles' offensive machine, quarterback Gerald Fraylon, with seeming ease. The all-time CIAA total offense leader completed only 10 of 30 passing attempts, suffered three interceptions and was sacked five times. "Every time we got in trouble, we went to the stunts.... Today, everything we tried came up roses." ~ WSSU Defensive Coordinator Pete Richardson "Our stunts up the middle were too much for their offensive line," said Pete Richardson, the V* I ' _ A - * ? ? Kams onensive corainator, aner me win. we wanted to force Fraylon inside where we could get some help on him and we were able to do that most of the time. "Every time we got in trouble, we went to the stunts," Richardson said. "We knew that Fraylon likes to sprint out to the wide side, so we overloaded to keep him contained inside. Today, everything we tried came up roses." Despite being penalized for 169 yards, the Rams were in control throughout the contest. WSSU's A defense handed its offense the football deep in Eagle territory often and each time the offense was able to capitalize. "The defense gave us great field position," said Rams Head Coach Bill Hayes. "We didn't have tc put together any 60- or 80-yard drives." Although the Rams couldn't punch home touchdowns on their first two drives, they were able to come away with a pair of field goals. "We got something out of them (the Rams' initial drives of the first period)," said Hayes, choosing to be brief in his comments about the win over his alma mater.

Derrick Beasley, the Rams' strong safety, said the WSSU defensive unit was pleased with the way it limited the NCCU passing attack. By stopping Fraylon in particular, Beasley said, the Rams were able to shut down NCCU's entire offense. "We wanted to hit Fraylon and get him out of his game," said Beasley.
