Bulldogs Conduct “Good” Scrimmage
ORANGEBURG, SC – The Bulldogs of South Carolina State conducted their second preseason scrimmage Saturday and head coach Buddy Pough called the workout a good one for his team.
The 120-play scrimmage, which lasted approximately one hour, forty-five minutes, was one of several events conducted during SC State’s “Meet the Players” Day and Fan Fest.
Pough said the goal in the scrimmage was to get in some good live work, establish the two-deep depth chart and evaluate all of the players.
"I believe we got most of what we planned done,” he said. “Both the first and second unit got about 50 snaps apiece. We wanted to be able to evaluate all our people to see who could help us and get them more evolved. Those that may not be as far along, we wanted to determine what we need to do to get them to a certain point.”
Pough noted that the Bulldog quarterbacks, who had been experiencing some arm soreness before pulling back a little the last two days, threw the ball well.
“We threw the ball more than we had done the last two days,” Pough said. “Our quarterbacks had eased up a bit in their throwing and, with the rest, I saw some improvement. They had a lot better performance.
“I thought Cleve (QB McCoy) looked like he’s ready to have a good year. He was very effective and stood in their in the face of danger and delivered some good passes. Our other two quarterbacks were effective also. Malcolm (Long) really threw the ball well early, and I thought that (DeWain) Clark delivered the ball pretty good later in the workout.”
Pough also noted that the running game looked sharp and that the defensive line, after a slow start, was really aggressive and played well, as did the secondary, which got some strong play from safeties Marshall McFadden and Markee Hamlin, two of five players from three-time state champion Lamar High School.
The Bulldogs will take Sunday off and attend church service at area churches before returning to the field Monday at approximately 9:50 a.m., according to Pough.
