ORANGEBURG, South Carolina — South Carolina State continued preseason fall workouts Friday morning in preparation for the Bulldogs first scrimmage Saturday at O. C. Dawson Stadium. The Bulldogs held a two-hour morning workout session in full pads.
"Another full day a practice and we seemed to have gotten a lot accomplished today," said head coach Buddy Pough. "For the most part it was a pretty good day and our team is still showing some life."
In addition to team-style drills, the Bulldogs continued their focus on special teams, an area that has become a bit of a concern for Pough and his staff.
"We are still trying to find our way in some instances (as it relates to special teams), but we appear to be moving in the right direction in identifying people who will be able to help us in those roles (on special teams) in which we need them."
Pough noted that the defense seems to be a little bit ahead of things at this point, and have more of an established plan with being familiar with what the team is trying to accomplish
"During our first scrimmage I would like to get as many young guys involved as I possibly can tomorrow," he said. "But the main thing is show some signs of understanding of what we are trying to install and try to get a good look at those new guys."
SC State will hold its annual Media & Picture Day beginning tomorrow morning at 9 a.m., followed by a scrimmage during the evening at 7 p.m., the first of the preseason.
The Bulldogs will return 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.
