Pough’s advice to Bulldogs WR off loss: “Stay off social media”

ORANGEBURG, S.C. (WOLO) – When Jermaine Baxley dropped a wide open pass off his hands, just steps from the end zone with less than two minutes to go, it summed up what was a game of multiple missed opportunities for SC State Sunday.

The Bulldogs fell to Southern in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge 14-8, scoring zero touchdowns in their 2017 opener.

On Monday, head coach Buddy Pough discussed the advice he would pass along to Baxley after the miscue when it comes to checking his phone – very simply, by saying not to.

The Bulldogs will look to rebound on a short week, holding their home opener Saturday against Charleston Southern.
