S.C. State QB’s game may silence critics

ATLANTA – When it comes to college football, the Georgia Dome is Richard Cue’s house.

The South Carolina State quarterback has put together two of his best career performances in the Atlanta stadium. A year after throwing for a career-best in yards against Georgia State, Cue returned to the Georgia Dome for a repeat effort.

It was a more formidable opponent this time on Saturday in North Carolina A&T. Facing an Aggies team riding a seven-game winning streak, including back-to-back wins over Football Bowl Subdivision provisional Appalachian State and Southern Conference member Elon University, and a defense that was among Football Championship Subdivision’s best in rushing yards allowed, Cue had to play more the role of game-changer than game manager.



At the Atlanta Football Classic, it was a “classic” performance for Cue in lifting the Bulldogs to a 29-24 victory. With the Aggies determined to shut down any ground threat presented by S.C. State, it was Cue who carried the offense with big plays from his arm.
