ORANGEBURG, SC (SCSU) — The Bulldogs will hold their first preseason scrimmage Saturday (Aug.13) at 10 a.m. in Oliver C. Dawson Stadium. Coach Buddy Pough, coaches and players will be available for interviews following the teams scrimmage.
The Bulldogs held an early morning practice session that lasted nearly 2 hours and half in full gear. The Bulldogs wrapped up goal line offensive and defensive schemes and worked on special team’s formations in preparation for their for tomorrow’s scrimmage.
“We got a lot done today and we are in the process of using all the players we have to see where they can help us,” said Pough. “The good thing about our situation is we had a full week of preparation in the books. Now during the scrimmage tomorrow we get a chance to evaluate some guys and see how far along they have come.”
Pough noted that he has a little concern about the depth in certain positions, but he’s pretty optimistic a few of the new guys will step it up and earn some playing time.
The Bulldogs take Sunday off, before returning to the practice field Monday with two workouts – an early morning session at 9:30 a.m. in full pads and an evening practice at 7:10 in shells.
