Bulldogs Making Improvements On Both Sides of the Ball

ORANGEBURG, SC (USC SID) – South Carolina State wrapped up its final preseason two-a-days workouts beginning with a two-hour practice in full gear during the 9:30 a.m. morning session at Oliver. C. Dawson Stadium.

“The guys worked really hard this morning in an intense special team session, “said head coach Buddy Pough.”We have a few players banged up but nothing serious moving forward. I am really excited with some of the news guys stepping up along with some of the returners.”
Pough stated, “We have a chance to be a solid football team but as always we have to keep working and getting better. Overall we did identify some players that can help us fill in some of the missing voids moving forward.”

SC State returned to the field in an evening practice in full gear in a more intense practice than the morning session.
“I am not as concerned at this point after the first scrimmage,” said Pough. “We still have a long way to go but I think we are on the right track to get things done.”

The Bulldogs return to the field in a 9:30 a.m. morning session in full gear the final practice of preseason, before taking off Wednesday for the first day of classes, but will return to the field on Wednesday in a 6:30 a.m. morning session in full gear.
