ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- With the 2013 season opener against 21st-ranked Coastal Carolina now only 19 days away, the team’s identity is starting to take shape.The Bulldogs have completed nine practices so far, enough time to start making some evaluations of the team’s progress.
1. Night and day
The mood around Bulldogs’ camp has taken more of a business-like, no-nonsense approach this year. Unlike 2012, the sight of coaches constantly having to interrupt practice to address disciplinary problems has been virtually non-existent. The decibel level among the Bulldog players in regards to voicing high expectations (i.e., guaranteeing a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title) is also at a reasonably low level. With a coaching staff filled with intense and demanding assistants like returning offensive line coach/offensive coordinator Joseph Blackwell and wide receivers coach Steve Bird to go with a veteran defensive staff, order and focus is more than ever the required norm at S.C. State under head coach Buddy Pough.
